    First of all I wanted to congratulate you for the amazing plugin I’ve been using for years.
    But I’m writing to you because I have a problem using AU with the CSS options my new web page. I’m using AU together with the WP Rocket plugin. With the AU plugin I am optimizing my CSS files and with it WP Rocket plugin the Java Script files. The problem comes that activating AU is increasing too much the loading time of my page by treating the remove-header file of my page. Disabling the AU plugin the loading time is 74ms, activating AU the time increases by 1.37s. You can see these results in the Google console. This is causing problems with my page loading and GTMetrix result. How can I exclude the optimization from this remove-header file in the AU CSS options. I would like to continue using the AU plugin but this is causing a very big problem. Here you can see my website https://audioprolabs.com
    best regards

    can you explain what you mean with the “remove-header file in the AU CSS options” audioprolabs ? can you share a screenshot indicating the option you’re referring to?

    Hello,
    the problem comes from a file on my website. I don’t know how to find this text/html or code. When the AU is not activated this html has a loading time 74ms, activating AU the loading time increases by 1.37s. I just wanted to know if it is possible to exclude this html so that AU does not optimize it.

    I also see the request with AO disabled (by adding ?ao_noptimize=1 to the URL), see screenshot.

    When inspecting your HTML source, I indeed do so this in the open-mart-style-inline-css inline CSS:

    .top-header{background-image:url(remove-header);

    which indeed will result in a request for a non-existing file.

    thank you for your reply! I know that this problem does not come from AU, apparently it is a problem of the same code of the template that I am using. I’m right? It is best to contact the technical team that has created this template, right? I am using a plugin to redirect links that do not exist, disabling this plugin gives me error 404 (Not Found).

    yeah, you’ll have to contact the “open mart” team I guess. in the meantime you could make an empty file and call it remove-header and place it in your wordpress root directory maybe, that will have significantly lower “cost”?

    Thank you very much for your help! I’m going to contact the “open mart” team. But creating an empty file with the name remove-header seems that solve much of the problem and now the load is much faster. Thank you for your advice 🙂

    I’m sure I’m going to leave a comment, once again thank you for your help 🙂
    Thanks to your help and tips I have now a result in google speed test of 99 and GTMetrix 85.
    I am already using your new version of AU 3 without any problem. 🙂
