 * Hi Frank,
 * Could you help me a hand with the CCS-option? I enable it, and figured out that
   when I enable ‘CSS-bestanden samenvoegen’, my countdown timer on mobile (mobile
   only), becomes flawed (it collapses). However, with the option enabled, my google
   speed test score is way better, so I would like to use it.
 * Anyway to exclude the timer from optimizing? Maybe other options?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Groet, Grouster

 * Middag Grouster;
    So that countdown timer, is that part of your theme or a plugin
   or custom-built or … ? Any chance you can share the URL?

 * OK, can you try excluding `wp-content/plugins/jet-elements/` from CSS optimization?

 * Tried that before, but now it works, thanks a lot. Please allow me to ask you
   2 last questions (5 star rating already well deserved):
 * – in Google speed test, I’ll still het ‘bronnen die de weergave blokkeren’: …
   css/autoptimize_f6145c…css. Can this be eliminated completely?
    – can autoptimize
   help with minimising Cumulative Layout Shift?
 * Any way to give you a donation for the good work or buy a premium version by 
   the way?

 * For render-blocking CSS look into “inline & defer CSS”, more info in [the AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq).
 * CLS can be hard to tackle and generally it is not something AO can fix (and inline&
   defer CSS can make CLS more pronounced even, it can take some tinkering). Based
   on a webpagetest.org test, the countdown-timer is one of the main reasons for
   the CLS (it seems there is JS involved to make it fit in a mobile viewport)?
