Please how do I use Autoptimize to eliminate them from above the fold? * 1) [http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400italic,700%7CQuattrocento:400,400italic,700%7CQuattrocento+Sans:400,400italic,700%7CRaleway:400,400italic,700&subset=latin,latin,latin,latin](http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400italic,700%7CQuattrocento:400,400italic,700%7CQuattrocento+Sans:400,400italic,700%7CRaleway:400,400italic,700&subset=latin,latin,latin,latin) * 2) [https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_static/css/translateelement.css](https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_static/css/translateelement.css) * 3) [http://MYSITE/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/autoptimize_4c97896684923702c39216e86571f8f9.php](http://MYSITE/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/autoptimize_4c97896684923702c39216e86571f8f9.php) * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8637692) * 1st 2 can’t be fixed by AO (they’re files on 3rd party servers, which AO can’t aggregate) * the 3rd one can, using the fix(es) described earlier. did you try those? * Thread Starter [gbengalex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbengalex/) * (@gbengalex) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8637713) * Thanks again … I dont know how to try to inline the #3 – i dont even think it is css or js * More importantly Frank, I get very high speed score when I enable the following: * Optimize JavaScript Code? Force JavaScript in ? Also aggregate inline JS? Add try-catch wrapping? * HOWEVER it results in messing up my css (menu and template) and js (for videos, images etc). I have tried many different combinations of the four but i just cannot achieve the level of speed without degradation in site layout etc. I wonder if you can take a look at it for a fee? Alternatively any further suggestions? * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8637810) * 1. it most certainly is either CSS or JS 🙂 2. forcing JS in head makes it render- blocking 3. aggregating inline JS can make your cache size grow too fast too big 4. try/catch wrapping is a workaround if you have JS errors, but no solution * can you share your URL, I’ll first an foremost check what that autoptimize file is 🙂 * Thread Starter [gbengalex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbengalex/) * (@gbengalex) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8640938) * Thank you. The URL is [http://www.hoopvideos.net](http://www.hoopvideos.net). Right now I have disabled “Also aggregate inline JS?” * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8641138) * I see you’re (also) using [the great “above the fold” plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/above-the-fold-optimization/), soi if you still have render blocking issue you should ask in that support forum really 🙂 * Thread Starter [gbengalex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbengalex/) * (@gbengalex) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8641816) * Thanks Frank. Is that a hint f sarcasm I see in your “the great “above the fold” plugin” statement? LOL. I ask because I really dont know much these plugins. Is Autoptimize compatible with it? Does one make the other unnecessary? * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8641827) * no, no sarcasm, it is a great plugin and it is compatible with AO and it can make sense to use the two in conjunction 🙂 * Thread Starter [gbengalex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbengalex/) * (@gbengalex) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8641882) * I am relieved!! Can you spare some time to go into my admin and help me solve these issues for a fee? I am basically going around in a circle because I dont know what to set and how to set it. I have three blogs using same theme and with the same AO and Abovethefold plugins and getting the right balance for optimizing without breaking layout has been challenging on all 3. * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-2-fix-autoptimize-cache-render-blocking/#post-8641939) * afraid I have no time to spare for now [@gbengalex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbengalex/), but I know some people who maybe could, mail me at futtta-at-gmail-dot-com and I’ll put you in touch.
