 * Love the plugin, but Google’s Lighthouse tests and Page Speed Insights are flagging
   the plugin’s CSS as render blocking.
 * Is there any way to reduce or eliminate this?
 * Thanks.

 * Hey Thomas,
 * Thanks so much for reaching out about this and for the kind words! Since Grow
   Social’s buttons usually show up in the first screenview on the site it’s a pretty
   tricky situation to try and get around for render blocking.
 * Our plugin engineers are always looking into ways to further reduce the impact
   Grow Social has on a site, but in the meantime you could look into potential 
   optimization/Critical CSS plugins to help take care of this for you.
 * I don’t have any particular suggestions on what to go with as each site is different,
   but if you do go this route I would just double check that after the optimizations
   are done that Grow Social’s buttons are still functioning normally.

 * Hey Thomas,
 * It’s been a bit since we’ve heard from you so we’re going to go ahead and close
   this thread, but if there’s anything else you need please feel free to open a
   new topic!
