 * While it does a good job overall, it introduces its own generated CSS code which
   shows up as blocking CSS resource in Google PageSpeed test result. Also puts 
   in JS script which needs to be minified as per Google PageSpeed. See the screenshot.
   How can these lines be removed to improve score?

 * I am sorry frank. I had misplaced the comment meant for JCH Optimize plugin here
   and vice versa 🙂 I have edited it now with the problem pertaining to your plugin.
   Await your reply.

 * render-blocking CSS is discussed extensively [in the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/).
   bottom line; there’s an option (or two) for that.
 * concerning JS minification; Pagespeed insight indeed claims it can squeeze a 
   little more minification out of the JS (in general less then 1KBi, 1%), but the
   minification component used by AO can’t. Given the minimal potential gains, this
   has next to no real-world performance impact, so wouldn’t worry about that, really.
 * hope this helps,
    frank

 * The Critical Path CSS Generator tool at jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/#
   what-is
    asks in Step-2 for the Full CSS To extract Critical CSS from.
 * Where do I find the full CSS ? Is it the CSS found in the 4 blocking CSS resources(
   URLs) in my case? Thanks
