# CSS Loads late

 * I’ve been using this plugin for a while, but on this site for some reason, the
   css seems to load late, so when someone goes to any of the service pages, the
   page content loads without formatting for a second, and then re-loads with the
   correct formatting. Not sure if there’s a setting that needs to be turned on/
   off but I’ve narrowed the problem down to this plugin. Any help is appreciated.
   Thanks!

   to see the link]_

 * Try enabling the “Force path-based rules to be generated for pages?” advanced
   option in Autoptimize -> critical CSS and give it some time for new rules to 
   generate, this will very likely fix the problem you describe cougdigi1
 * hope this helps,

 * Ok, I enabled that option a little more than 24 hours ago. All the CSS files 
   have regenerated. However, the non-css flash still happens. Is there anything
   else I can try?

 * Hmm .. can you enable “debug logging” in AO CCSS’s advanced options?

 * Ok, I’ve enabled debug logging. Do you need to see the log, or should I be looking
   for something?

 * OK, the page linked above is still served by the `is_page` rule, can you delete
   that rule so a specific rule for that (and other) pages can be created?
