 * Hi,
 * First off, I am in love with this plugin. My page speed has exponentially improved
   after using it.
 * Unfortunately some elements appear to have black borders around them when the
   plugin is active.
 * I cannot attach an image – but the problem appears on the homepage, right under
   the top slider with the pictures.
 * The four colums have black borders around them. But when I edit them in Elementor,
   those are not there.
 * When I deactivate Hummingbird, the borders disappear.
 * Can you please help me?

 * Hi [@glenneman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glenneman/),
 * Thanks for the kind words, means a lot knowing you enjoy the plugin 🙂
 * What you explained sounds like something specific to Asset Optimization, some
   files don’t like being optimized and could cause such issues as a result.
    Could
   you try reactivating Hummingbird and when you open a homepage add this **/?avoid-
   minify=true** at the end of the URL and reload the page that way, so the page
   URL would look like this: `website.com/?avoid-minify=true` If the issue is gone
   that means that optimization is indeed the cause of this.
 * You can now go to Hummingbird > Asset Optimization and if you’re using automatic
   mode scroll down and switch to Exclusions tab.
    In there, try excluding some 
   of the Elementor files and see if the issue is gone.
 * Let us know how it goes.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag
