 * looks like you have HTML in a page cache which refers to files that are already
   removed from Autoptimize’s cache, try clearing any page cache you might have 
   and it should be fixed [@kalaydee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalaydee/)

 * Hi Frank, I’ve already tried that several times but it still doesn’t work.
    The
   site loads the CSS whenever I’m logged in as the admin, but it doesn’t when I’ve
   logged out. Any idea why this happens?
 * Thanks.

 * well, that _would_ if you have the option to also run autoptimize for logged 
   on users off.
 * based on what I could see requests for the autoptimized CSS (and JS) returned
   a “file not found” (404) error. as AO only removes files when you click on “save
   changes and empty cache”, either you clicked that option to save changes in the
   configuration (try the button next to it instead) or something else is removing
   autoptimized files from the cache?

 * Run for logged off users? How do you do that?

 * well, there’s an option “Also optimize for logged in users?” which is active 
   by default. if you un-ticked that, you would see an un-autoptimized site when
   logged in?

 * Hey Frank, I’ve tried selecting and deselecting the option for “Also optimize
   for logged in users?”, buut the site is still broken.

 * I mentioned the option as an explanation of why it might be it worked as logged
   in user but not for others, this indeed cannot solve files being removed from
   cache somehow I’m afraid.
 * The only solution would be to found out how files are being removed from cache(
   you clicking “save changes & empty cache” on Autoptimize’s settings screen?) 
   and making sure that does not happen.
