Hey @gevv,
Thank you for reporting this. 🙂
We are aware of this “issue” and are going to restrict the loading of this stylesheet to logged in users only in the next release of AIOSEO. We’ve already got a fix for this and now we’re just wrapping up development on some other issues that have been reported.

Yesterday I upgraded to latest version of the plugin and I immediately noticed the new forcefully added stylesheet (CSS) in the source code.
When I searched for it, I found this support topic.
In my opinion, it’s a very important and major issue. An extra CSS can impact webpage loading time. No one will want to have an extra CSS loading on their webpages without any reason.
You should have released a fix for this issue immediately rather than waiting in fixing other issues before releasing a new version.
Please release a fix asap.
In the meantime, users can remove the CSS by adding following code to their theme’s functions.php file:
add_action('wp_print_styles', 'deregister_aioseop_style', 100 );
function deregister_aioseop_style() {
wp_deregister_style( 'aioseop-toolbar-menu' );
}
@arnaudbroes Am I missing something? Why is this loading at all on our main website for any user, logged in or not, and not only in the admin area? I just created a test account on my website (not admin) and it loads this css file on my home page. Why?
@sho-down it’s used to style our toolbar menu, which is different from our regular admin menu. The toolbar is the horizontal bar at the top of your page when you are browsing through the front-end of your website. You might have disabled it in your profile settings.
@arnaudbroes I’m sorry but I still don’t understand why you load a toolbar on my website for my visitors? It shouldn’t load at all on my main website. Do you have a page I can visit or a screenshot to see how it looks?
This code doesn’t seem like it has any purpose loading on my website, I can understand loading it on the backend admin area (which is does) but not my main website:

font-style: italic;

@sho-down we do not generate a toolbar ourselves. We load a CSS file for our menu in the default toolbar that WordPress provides for logged in users. It also does not load for visitors; just for users that are logged in. I guess we could restrict it even further and make sure it only loads for administrators. I’ll make sure that we do this in the next update (v3.6.0).
