Hi @matthijsdebooij,
I’m happy OMGF is helping you raise your site’s performance! 🙂
I ran an audit in Chrome for the site you mentioned, but I’m not seeing this recommendation. Could you give me a bit more information?
– Is it on a specific page?
– What settings are you using for the audit?
– Are you using CSS optimization plugins?
Sure. I ran the test with webpagetest.org with default settings + enabling Lighthouse report. See here: Lighthouse report
Is use Autoptimize for CSS optimisation.
@matthijsdebooij,
Okay, so this is a tricky one.
The thing is: since you’re using a CSS optimization plugin (Autoptimize), there is only one big CSS file. And since the preload-attribute can only added per stylesheet (and not per font, for example) you can only add the preload-attribute to the stylesheets created by Autoptimize. This means it’s basically out of OMGF’s control.
You could try playing around with the Preload setting in Autoptimize? Autoptimize > Extra > Preload specific requests. Try adding one of the mentioned requests to the list, to see if that solves it!
Do you mean Autoptimize > Extra > Preconnect to 3rd party domains (advanced users)? I don’t see a Preload specific requests option in Autoptimize…
fyi; preload is coming in AO 2.6, if you’re interested you can download & run the beta right away 🙂

Awesome, much appreciated Frank!
How do you always do that Frank @optimizingmatters? If I say your name out loud right now, will you stand in my office in a few minutes? 😛
Anyway, sorry for the (partial) misinformation @matthijsdebooij, I’ve been a long time beta tester of Autoptimize, so I forgot that the preload feature is currently only available in beta.
It works really well, though. So I suggest you use the beta as well. 🙂
Groetjes! 😀
