 * Hi there!
 * I am getting this error “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-
   the-fold content. Your page has 1 blocking script resources and 2 blocking CSS
   resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.”
 * The links appear to be from the minify section of the plugin:
 * Render-blocking Javascript:

 * CSS error:

 * Hello sandygraph, I hope you are doing well today!
 * Based on the Google instructions you need to move the JS file to the footer:
   
   [https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/BlockingJS](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/BlockingJS)
 * Have you enabled JS and CSS minify from Performance > Miinify?
 * Please advise,

 * Hi Nastia,
 * Thank you for your reply! Yes the JS and CSS are both enabled from the minify
   section. Do I need to disable them?

 * Use the manual minify option then you can move the js to before the </body> tag.
   From there make sure to defer/async the scripts to improve load time.

 * Hello sandygraph
 * Like Destac suggested, please switch the Minify to manual mode. Go to Performance
   > General Settings.
 * Under the **General** enable “Preview mode” by click on “Enable” button. Once
   you have enabled preview mode, your settings will not apply to the actual site
   until you hit the “Deploy” button.
 * Then, under the “Minify” option, check its enabled box and set the “Minify mode”
   to **Manual**.
 * Once you do this, go to Performance > Minify and choose to Minify, in JS section,**
   Before </body>**
 * Whenever JS is minified very often you need to choose manually, which files are
   minified in order to avoid any issues.
 * You can add these files in Performance > Minify > JS section.
 * I hope this help!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia

   I do something wrong?
