* Hi, I’m trying to use autoptimize. My main web page is [https://colsalud.com](https://colsalud.com).
When applying css optimization the page does not apply any style. I have created
a clone of the page to do tests [https://clon.colsalud.com](https://clon.colsalud.com)
and I discovered when reviewing the source code of the page that all code minimized
by optimize corresponding to the css appears inside comment html (<- – ->), for
that reason does not load any style. Could you help me figure out why this happens?
First I thought it was wp super cache; Disable it and continue the error; Then
I thought it was the security plugin, disable wordfence and continue the error.

* hi [@sarr9121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sarr9121/);
on clon.colsasud.
com you seem to be using something to defer CSS loading which seems to be somehow
breaking Autoptimize’s optimization. can you disable that so I can see what AO
does?

* Hi Frank. thanks for your prompt response. I have disabled the css defer plugin
on the clone site. I’m using the in line css option. And the page does not load
the css. Everything appears as html comment.

* this is (normally) not something AO does, looks like a plugin conflict. can you
selectively disable other plugins (and briefly switch themes) to identify the
culprit?

* Hello Frank, apparently it is something related to the theme, I have changed
to the typical themes of wordpress and the plugin works. I know it’s not your
theme, but you have an idea that could cause this block?
* Thanks.

so … 🙂

* Hi frank, sorry for the delay in sending, but I had to leave outside, and only
so far I could return. I share you the compressed folder via mail. Any help you
can give me will thank you.

* no problem 🙂
* so the problem is that healthplus outputs this;
* ```
futtta's local testblog – Just another WordPress site
```
* and that autoptimize injects the optimized CSS in front of the (first) title-
tag it finds, which due to the healthplus code is inside the HTML-remark’ed block.
* root cause fix would be for the theme dev to remove that unneeded HTML comment
block.
* workaround fix is to tell AO to inject the optimized CSS elsewhere using a coupld
of lines of code against AO’s API, e.g.;
* ```
add_filter('autoptimize_filter_css_replacetag','fix_healthplus_css');
function fix_healthplus_css() {
return array("
