# Multiple CSS files created with Autoptimize

 * It looks like Autoptimize created 5 CSS files (all of them Render Blocking). 
   Is there a setting I have missed that will consolidate these? I assume that all
   5 of these files are needed for the page.

 * **I have the following CSS settings in Autoptimize:**
 * Optimize CSS Code? CHECKMARKED
 * Aggregate CSS-files? CHECKMARKED
 * Also aggregate inline CSS? CHECKMARKED
 * Generate data: URIs for images? BLANK
 * Eliminate render-blocking CSS? BLANK
 * Inline all CSS? BLANK
 * Exclude CSS from Autoptimize: wp-content/cache/, wp-content/uploads/, admin-bar.
   min.css, dashicons.min.css
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultiple-css-files-created-with-autoptimize%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * removing wp-content/uploads from the exclusions will very likely result in the
   CSS-files being combined, but keep an eye on the cache size as this can result
   in more files being created.
 * hope this helps,
