 * Hi guys! I hope you are doing well. I’m a fellow WP dev. This is more of a suggestion
   than an actual support request.
    Given that Google will be introducing significant
   changes in their mobile-friendly algorithm as of April 21st, I was wondering 
   if you ever considered resorting to [loadCSS](https://github.com/filamentgroup/loadCSS/)
   or a similar tool to load the minified CSS files generated by W3TC asynchronously.
   The way the plugin currently works now, PageSpeed Insights reports the dynamically
   generated files as render-blocking, so perhaps resorting to such a tool will 
   have a significant impact on speed. LMK what you think. Thanks!

 * I didn’t read all of the info regarding this method, but I was wondering if that
   would work with CSS that isn’t minified. In my case, there are CSS specific to
   Woo Commerce that can’t be minified because doing so breaks the site. My site
   still scores well in Google Page Speed, but the mobile version speed score is
   affected because of the render blocking CSS I mentioned.
 * I’d like to know more. If it’s possible to asynchronously load the CSS I don’t
   have minified, that would be worth trying.
 * Thanks.
