 * Hello
    all worked fine till version 1.4.4 after installation of the last 2 versions(
   currently use 1.4.7) of the plugin, the processing of css files, push my website
   down. Looks like there is an interaction in between apache (2.4) / php (7.0) 
   and existing nginx. my website is installed on a virtual host on Apache, the 
   nginx is used for the remote server administration. note: I completely deactivated
   the cache plug-ins, and removed the caches, restarted apache, cleaned the browser
   cache. In the logs from plugin I constantly receive the following message for
   each css file – REQUEST FAILED () – //mysite The pages have hard to load and 
   finish by displaying – 504 Gateway Time-out nginx (normally Apache should handle
   these pages). I ended by selecting – deactivate the css completely. Should I 
   activate additional php extensions? Something else? could you please help
 * thanks a lot

 * Hi and thanks for reporting.
 * I think that your server might be blocking some http requests, because what you
   see on the “view log” button as – REQUEST FAILED – has been requested by the 
   wordpress api to your site.
 * Now this can happen if the url is wrong or if the server is blocking the requests
   somewhere. If only a few have the – REQUEST FAILED – that could be a rate limit
   or something else.
 * Can you post the complete contents of that failed log files or a screenshot please?

 * Hi Raul
    thanks a lot for your answer. i apologise. On my first contact i forgot
   to thank you for this “best in class plugin” despite the problem i have since
   the version 1.4.5, I remain convinced it is one of the best i ever seen! 🙂
 * These are the logs reported in the plugin. (i replaced my domain name and the
   port). if needed i can share this information with you offline.

 * note: my site is intended to work on https. i added a plugin which replace widely
   the http or https with // this for avoiding having mixed content problems.
    i
   didn’t check – if you think useful i can deactivate it, and force here the https,
   and also to rewrite this part of the .htaccess
 * additional information – my dev website is hosted on a synology system (this 
   is why the combination of different web servers) and the server is in prod. the
   dev website is on the virtual host in purpose, before it is migrated to a new
   hosting.

 * Hello Raul
 * just did a quick check to the plugin – WP Async CSS – created by Robert Sæther.
   
   I saw a mention of this plugin in one of your recent discussions, on the version
   1.4.4 asking you to implement this 😉 The behaviour is exactly the same (nginx
   gateway error). It looks like my website “does not appreciate” the functions 
   included. Maybe there are somme commonalities in processing the css in between
   that plugin any fast velocity?… Is there any incompatibility with Apache 2.4/
   php7 of that supposed feature.
 * thanks in advance
    best regards, B

 * Thanks a lot 🙂
    maybe a “switch” in between using the “old” techno and “new”
   techno for CSS ? could be nice. info – i already tried the version 1.4.7.1 – 
   with no success.

 * Hi, can you try version 1.4.8 and tell me if it fixed it for you?
 * It seems to be requesting from //fonts.googleapis.com/ just fine, but not from//
   myFQDN:myPort/…
 * I’m not sure if it’s because your url has a port number, if it’s because the 
   url is incorrect, ssl fails, or if it’s getting it from the live site where the
   files do not exist… but we will get there if you like.
 * For now, try 1.4.8 it should work on css at least.

 * Yes Sir!
 * Perfect 🙂 now it is working !
    There are some css not correctly loading in frontend
   as “planned”, but this is normal. I will exclude them on the proposed list 🙂
 * really Great! This is a 5 star plugin!
    your support is best in class. I also
   really appreciate the “pro” clean implementation, and the missing advertising/
   add-ons or hard pushing by any mean for buying something.
 * All my best regards and success for the new devlopments!
