Title: Render-blocking CSS Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Render-blocking CSS * Resolved [vinjain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinjain/) * (@vinjain) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/) * Hi All * I have recently run a website test on Google Page Speed Test tool.. There were many Render-Blocking CSS files. I was able to fix all of them but there is one file which I am not able to fix. The reason is when I click on that file, it takes me to a error page. I do not even know if that file is important to me or just some spam. That css file is – [http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3](http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3) Hide details * Can someone please look into this once and help me with it. I want to fix all the big or small errors because my website takes too much time to load. Also if you can provide me any suggestions or areas to improve the performance then I will really appreciate that. * my website is – [http://www.ilampion.com](http://www.ilampion.com) * Best Regards Vineet Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Walter Lopez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lopwalj/) * (@lopwalj) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637450) * Hello Vineet, Looks like you are trying to enqueue a CSS stylesheet improperly.

What I’m trying to find is why you have this enqueue of CSS incorrectly: * > [http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3](http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3) * Do you have installed a plugin to insert custom CSS? Do you use any caching plugin? * Regards, * [Jacob Peattie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakept/) * (@jakept) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637601) * If I had to guess, a sample `wp_enqueue_style()` function has been added somewhere. It would look something like: * ``` wp_enqueue_style( 'mystyle', 'path_to_style.css' ); ``` * Can you try searching your theme files for * ``` wp_enqueue_style('mystyle ``` * or * ``` wp_enqueue_style( 'mystyle ``` * Thread Starter [vinjain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinjain/) * (@vinjain) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637604) * Hello Walter * Yes, I’ve installed a TJ Custom CSS Plugin to insert custom css. and also using W3 Total Cache Plugin * Regards Vineet * [Walter Lopez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lopwalj/) * (@lopwalj) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637613) * Hello vinjain, Try temporary deactivating TJ Custom CSS Plugin and clear W3 Total Cache Plugin cache and run a new test and let us know please. * Thread Starter [vinjain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinjain/) * (@vinjain) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637618) * Hi Walter * I temporary deactivatdc TJ Custom CSS Plugin, cleared Cache via W3 Total Cache plugin…and after some time when i run the test..unfortunately it was just the same result * kindly let me know what else I must do next in order to fix this error * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637620) * When you use the Chrome or Firefox code inspector, do you spot errors / conflicts with CSS and JS files ? (right click on page > inspect in chrome > then go to console tab – around same in Firefox). * CSS rules can conflict sometimes, but i doubt it’s the real issue. * Thread Starter [vinjain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinjain/) * (@vinjain) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/#post-7637622) * Hi Digico * Here is what i get when I clicked on “Console Tab” in Inspect Chrome. * Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED [http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3](http://www.ilampion.compath_to_style.css/?ver=4.5.3) * JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1 autoptimize_6eb6ee0….js?050962: 5 * and when I click on compath_to_style.css file link, it shows nothing inside. I took a snapshot of it and saved it in JPEG format but don’t see any option to share it in the post here..so I copy-paste the message here to share it with you. * [Jacob Peattie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakept/) * (@jakept) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-css-2/page/2/#post-7637623) * [@vinjain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinjain/), did you do the search I asked you to in my previous post. I’m sure that’s the issue, you just need to find the offending code. * The file doesn’t exist, but a theme or plugin has tried to load ‘path_to_style. css’ because it’s left behind some tutorial or placeholder code. * EDIT: A search for “path_to_style.css” on Google shows that the “ultimate hover effects” plugin has this issue: [https://github.com/wp-plugins/ultimate-hover-effects/blob/master/ultimate-hover-effects.php#L49](https://github.com/wp-plugins/ultimate-hover-effects/blob/master/ultimate-hover-effects.php#L49) * Are you running that plugin?
