Hi Anthony,
The SEO Framework doesn’t do templating on the front-end; we don’t output JS or CSS scripts. So, I think you should forward this to Elementor or the caching plugin authors.
But, for as far as I’m concerned:
- The site is fast. You did a great job optimizing.
- Don’t chase the points, but the actual perceptual performance. This is also great on your site.
GTMetrix is an awesome product, but Lighthouse also checks browser rendering performance.
Both the server and rendering performance generate a perceptual speed index.
Even when your server responds in a fraction of a second, scripts and styles can harm rendering performance.
For more information, see:

I hope this gets you up to speed! 😉
Thank you for your response, we do tend to chase the small things ignoring the big things!
Thank you, lot of work to get that speed down.
Now I am starting to see Site Ground slow down on their shared hosting as they have gotten more popular – response times on initial call and hand shake are getting in the 500ms range.
Anyway great app and thank you! Lot less bloat then Yoast!
