Where i could find which css is crashing my site ? The plugin has about 50-60 css files 🙁 Some advices to find the guilty css 😉 * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377232) * well, why not simply exclude them all by adding `wp-content/plugins/elementor/ assets` to the comma-separated CSS optimization exclusion list? 🙂 * Thread Starter [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/) * (@frosinone) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377263) * Morning ! Thank you . Right now i have a different problem . I have excluded the plugin css . I mean if i am logged in as admin the page looks fine . If i log out the page is a disaster . I have cleaned the cache , cloudflare , and i cache of different devices . Any ideas of what could be ? thanks * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377356) * and if you remove the elementor exclusion all is back to normal, or not? * Thread Starter [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/) * (@frosinone) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377359) * Solved ! it seems that , check this box to optimize the css included into the html causes all the problems. I have deactivated and now it is working fine . I have a question about you . What that option makes i mean . RIght now ( with unchecked box ) my website would be slower ? more php use ? any another side effect ? thanks * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377378) * > What that option makes i mean . RIght now ( with unchecked box ) my website > would be slower ? more php use ? any another side effect ? thanks * aggregating inline CSS (or not) has no significant performance impact frosinone, you’re good to go that way 🙂 * Thread Starter [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/) * (@frosinone) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377391) * Great for your time and great support ! By the way , i am curious . Could be possible to add this option somehow over determined pages ? I mean my website would have lot of pages so ¨desactivating¨ this option in order to use this plugin over 2-3 pages from 300 would cause more negative impact that good impact . Could be possible to activate it only on pages using their url,id, or so ? * I mean 297 would lost this option, in order to make it work over 3 pages . which is your opinion about that ? thanks once again 🙂 * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377701) * > Could be possible to activate it only on pages using their url,id, or so ? * are you referring to the “also aggregate inline CSS”-option tehre [@frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/)? * Thread Starter [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/) * (@frosinone) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377706) * i mean the 3rd option of CSS area . * inline the css present in the html . * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377924) * well, as it doesn’t have any significant impact on the performance, I would leave as is actually if I were you. But if you’re into PHP, you could hook into Autoptimize’s API (the `autoptimize_css_include_inline` filter) to dynamically enable/ disable inline CSS aggregation 🙂 * Thread Starter [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/) * (@frosinone) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10377962) * thank you ! You are the very best , hopefully the next version that is now in beta would even improve it 🙂 GREAT PLUGIN ! * BTW , is it better for everyone to expalain it a little bit into the beta topic, it would be better to understand it ( for the normal people like me ) to see what is new ,etc. * it features a new version of the CSS minifier which is _a lot_ faster and more reliable it allows users to minify CSS/ JS without aggregating it excluded CSS/ JS now gets minified it “listens” to page caches getting purge to clear its own cache as well - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [frosinone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frosinone/). * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/#post-10378008) * well, for normal people the explanation is; “it is even better” 😉 * no seriously; * css minifier; css minification can in some cases be slow in the current version, it will be significantly faster in 2.4 * minify without aggregating; this has less chance of stuff breaking (e.g. your elementor issue), but will in some cases be less effective (as nothing is deferred) * excluded css/ js; if you exclude now, the files are left entirely un-optimized, in 2.4 AO will minify the non-aggregated CSS/ JS * page caches; too technical, but the goal is for AO to purge it’s cache when appropriate 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘broken css’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/autoptimize/assets/icon-256X256.png?rev=2211608) * [Autoptimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/reviews/) * 16 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * Last activity: [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-css-13/page/2/#post-10378017) * Status: resolved
