 * Hello,
 * I run a Pagespeed Insights for domain [https://advdms.com](https://advdms.com)
   
   and the errors it shows or improvements it suggests are mostly for Autoptimize
   js and css.
 * Can you please assist on any settings I may need to fix these? I’d like to utilize
   the plugin tho because it’s straightforward among others.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpagespeed-shows-autoptimize-causing-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * you’re probably referring to “render-blocking CSS/JS” and “unused CSS/JS” 🙂
 * for render-blocking CSS: look into “inline & defer CSS”, more info in [the AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq)
 * for render-blocking JS: make sure “force in head” is off
 * for unused CSS/JS: it is being reported as being Autoptimize’s, but AO merely
   aggregates all the CSS/ JS provided by your theme & plugins, so if you (really)
   want to tackle “remove unused CSS/JS” then you should look into your theme & 
   plugins (you might be able to get some improvement using e.g. “plugin organizer”
   to only allow plugins to work on specific pages). Moreover the unused CSS/ JS
   will likely be different for different pages (or parts of your site), so that
   would lead to different autoptimized CSS/JS-files being loaded on different pages.
 * hope this clarifies,
    frank

 * Can you start your own topic as per [the forum guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#i-have-the-same-problem-can-i-just-reply-to-someone-elses-post-with-me-too)
   [@elain81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elain81/) ? And before doing so;
   have a look at the “inline & defer CSS”-option, more info in [the AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq)
   🙂
