Title: High Render Blocking Resources Last modified: March 3, 2023 --- # High Render Blocking Resources * Resolved [kreish29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kreish29/) * (@kreish29) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-render-blocking-resources/) * I have used your plug in for a while and tinkered around with it. I really like it, I just have never been able to figure out the magic formula for removing render blocking resources, which keeps my site speed rating low. I have attempted to mess with settings, but sometimes I break things. I am not super technical, so I am unsure what risks certain settings have. * Is there any way you can help based on what you are seeing? * …frontend/wc-square-cart-checkout-blocks.min.css?ver=3.6.1(rjdunkin.com)1.2 KiB180 ms…block-library/style.min.css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com)17.7 KiB1,230 ms…css/autoptimize_single_535bc19…. css?ver=9.4.4(rjdunkin.com)3.3 KiB630 ms…css/autoptimize_single_0641728….css? ver=9.4.4(rjdunkin.com)53.0 KiB2,580 ms…css/classic-themes.min.css?ver=1(rjdunkin. com)0.6 KiB480 ms…css/autoptimize_single_03f77a2….css?ver=2.13.3(rjdunkin.com) 0.7 KiB480 ms…css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=1(maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com)7.7 KiB1,080 ms…css/autoptimize_single_fecf179….css?ver=1(rjdunkin.com)2.7 KiB180 ms…css/dashicons. min.css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com)35.2 KiB1,530 ms…css/frontend.min.css?ver=167…( rjdunkin.com)6.5 KiB480 ms…css/autoptimize_single_b21e55a….css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin. com)1.6 KiB180 ms…css/autoptimize_single_a4d70a3….css?ver=1.7.3(rjdunkin.com) 0.7 KiB180 ms…woo/woo-mini-cart.min.css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com)1.9 KiB180 ms… css/all.min.css?ver=5.15.1(rjdunkin.com)13.0 KiB630 ms…third/simple-line-icons. min.css?ver=2.4.0(rjdunkin.com)3.0 KiB330 ms…css/style.min.css?ver=1.7.3(rjdunkin. com)43.3 KiB1,680 ms…oceanwp-webfonts-css/21a8b7b….css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com) 0.6 KiB180 ms…css/elementor-icons.min.css?ver=5.18.0(rjdunkin.com)4.3 KiB330  ms…css/frontend-legacy.min.css?ver=3.11.2(rjdunkin.com)1.4 KiB180 ms…css/frontend. min.css?ver=3.11.2(rjdunkin.com)25.8 KiB1,080 ms…css/swiper.min.css?ver=5.3.6( rjdunkin.com)3.5 KiB180 ms…css/all.min.css?ver=3.11.2(rjdunkin.com)12.9 KiB630 ms…css/v4-shims.min.css?ver=3.11.2(rjdunkin.com)4.7 KiB330 ms…woo/woocommerce. min.css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com)23.8 KiB930 ms…woo/woo-star-font.min.css?ver=6.1.1( rjdunkin.com)1.0 KiB180 ms…woo/woo-quick-view.min.css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com) 2.0 KiB180 ms…css/autoptimize_single_8bfb734….css?ver=6.1.1(rjdunkin.com)9.6  KiB480 ms…css/fontawesome.min.css?ver=5.15.3(rjdunkin.com)12.7 KiB480 ms…css/ brands.min.css?ver=5.15.3(rjdunkin.com)0.7 KiB180 ms…animations/animations.min. css?ver=3.11.2(rjdunkin.com)3.3 KiB180 ms…jquery/jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.1(rjdunkin. com)38.7 KiB630 ms…customer-tracking/rjdunkin.com_ad362ae….js(api.cartstack.com) 1.7 KiB780 ms - This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by [kreish29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kreish29/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhigh-render-blocking-resources%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-render-blocking-resources/#post-16525498) * Have a look at the “eliminate render-blocking CSS” option, but do take into account you’ll have to either; * a) generate & copy/paste the “above the fold CSS” in the field below (more info in the [AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/), look for “inline& defer CSS”) OR b) create manual rules on the “critical CSS” tab (generating critical css for each rule) OR c) take a subscription over at criticalcss and paste your API in the field on the critical CSS tab * hope this helps, frank * Thread Starter [kreish29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kreish29/) * (@kreish29) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-render-blocking-resources/#post-16525860) * I looked at that and I am afraid to break something not knowing what is critical CSS due to my lack of technical knowledge. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-render-blocking-resources/#post-16525866) * well, look at the FAQ entries on that matter, there are links to services that will generate/ extract the critical CSS for you 🙂 * Thread Starter [kreish29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kreish29/) * (@kreish29) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-render-blocking-resources/#post-16525881) * I found them, sorry about that and thank you.
