 * I have Autoptimize installed in my website, and think that I have it configured
   correctly; however, Google PageSpeed Insights keeps telling me to “Eliminate 
   render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”…
 * I get this message: Your page has 2 blocking script resources and 4 blocking 
   CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
 * Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

 * Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

 * If you can tell me what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate it…

 * for jquery: you can try to remove that from the default JS optimization exclusions,
   but that might break your site (in which case you can simply re-add it)
    for 
   autoptimized JS: don’t force JS in head for autoptimized CSS: try “inline all
   CSS” (easy) or “inline & defer CSS” (better), cfr. [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq)
   for more info
 * hope this clarifies,

 * I’m trying, on advice of a friend, to sort the same problem.
    My issue is that
   the “Show Advanced Settings” button doesn’t work. The button animates, (shows
   as going in and out) but nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thomas.

 * hi [@tudogz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tudogz/); that’s probably due
   to a javascript-problem. you can alternatively activate the advanced settings
   by going to wp-admin/options.php, searching for `autoptimize_show_adv`, set that
   to `1` and clicking `save changes` at the bottom of that page.
