 * clear the Autoptimize cache (and any page cache you and your host might have)
   and to avoid this happens again reconfigure AO to _**not**_ aggregate inline 
   CSS and JS.
 * hope this helps,

 * please tell me where this setting is located so that it does not aggregate CSS
   and JS? What specifically needs to be disabled in the settings?

 * sure;
 * 1. go to Settings -> Autoptimize -> JS, CSS & HTML
    2. disable “also aggregate
   inline JS” 3. disable “also aggregate inline CSS” 4. click on “save and clear
   cache” 5. clear any page cache(s) you might have
 * have a nice day 🙂

 * does disabling affect download speed?
 * Aggregate JS files? — not noted
   included: Do not aggregate but defer? and Also
   defer inline JS?in CSS option: Aggregate CSS-files? and Also aggregate inline
   CSS?Should I turn all this off

 * in that case disable “also aggregate inline CSS”, that should do it 🙂

 * if you have huge amounts of inline CSS the HTML will be “lumpier”, so not aggregating
   that could impact performance a bit yes. on the other hand; if you cache grows
   quickly this is an [indication of other more important issues](https://blog.futtta.be/2016/09/15/autoptimize-cache-size-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine/),
   so not aggregating inline CSS might be the better choice if you have cache size
   problems.
