 * Hi,
    Thanks for an awesome work with this plugin. it helped us achieve a lot 
   from performance perspective. I have enabled “Inline and Defer CSS” option to
   and using criticalcss to load above the fold inline css. However, the 2 bundled
   css media=print are still loading as usual. I ran out of ideas what else to try.
   There isn’t any other caching plugin used. I am using pantheon hosting which 
   does page cache itslef.

 * Hey Tariq;
    It is normal for the full CSS to still load (albeit not render-blocking);
   critical CSS is inlined for the “above the fold”-part of the page to allow the
   page to be rendered (a lot) sooner, but for the “below-the-fold” part you need
   the full CSS loaded.
 * hope this clarifies,
    frank

 * Hi Frank,
    sorry, i wasn’t clear in my explanation. I meant the two css are loading
   as unused css as complained by page speed. Is that meant to be like this?
 * thanks

 * Afraid so; AO & CCSS do not know what CSS is needed on the full page, so cannot
   remove unused selectors/ styles from the full CSS. There is a service by another
   company, called Rapidload (see “optimize more” tab in Autoptimize), that can 
   help with that though.
