# Minify CSS – wp-content/cache/minify/000000/

 * I have one file that will not minify in either auto or manual setting and is 
   returning a Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
   error. But it appears to be a file created by W3TC.
 * sandbox/wp-content/cache/minify/000000/3d80f/default.include.7bacfa.css
 * It is the only error I am receiving on Google Page Speed on my sandbox site, 
   so I would like to be able to eliminate it if possible and then add the fix to
   my live sites.

 * I have this same question.
 * Using the Google PageSpeed (PS) Report from the W3TC Dashboard it reads.
 * > Minifying [http://domain.com/assets/cache/minify/000000/4de1c/default.include.34733d.css](http://domain.com/assets/cache/minify/000000/4de1c/default.include.34733d.css)
   > could save 80.4KiB (50% reduction) after compression.
 * I if I download the optimized files from Goolge PageSpeed and compare the one
   created by W3 to the Google optimized one they look like this.
 *     ```

 * Is there a setting to minify the minified CSS created by W3?
 * Interesting side note.
 * I replaced all the ‘un-minified’ (according to PS) CSS in the default.include.
   34733d.css with the ‘optimized’ CSS from Google PS and re-ran PS. It still said
   I needed to Minify the CSS. I then downloaded the new PS optimized CSS and loaded
   it into Notepad++. Using Compare in NP++, with the 1st PS CSS and the 2nd, the
   files matched exactly.

 * Oddly enough, none of my CSS or JS files are minified anymore. I only noticed
   this today. It problem very likely started upon a recent WP core upgrade.
 * Anyone have any more info about this and possible solution?

 * [@nickzee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickzee/) and @iamtonlythird Try
   using Autoptimize as a replacement for now. Also please remember to start your
   own threads.
