 * W3 Total Cache Version 0.9.2.11
 * Hello,
 * One of the plugin feature that is “Non-blocking JavaScript embedding” but I was
   wondering if this feature is still available?
 * I checked Google PageSpeed and get a shiny read warning for “Eliminate external
   render-blocking Javascript and CSS in above-the-fold content”
    -  [http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalcashpalace.com%2F](http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalcashpalace.com%2F)
 * So, how can I solve this? If the plugin does not work on this, how can I solve
   it manually?
 * Thank you.

 * For JS,
 * in Minify tab >> JS
 * and choose Embed type non-blocking but there have no such option for CSS.

 * Hello, In google developer page speed test i get the following error.
    Can any
   one help me in how to clear the following from the report?
 * Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
 * Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 4 blocking CSS resources. This 
   causes a delay in rendering your page.
 * ■None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting
   for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking
   resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the
   HTML.

 * I to am having render blocking javascript and css above the fold content issues.
 * In addition, I need to leverage browser caching even though it is enabled in 
   the W3 Total Cache settings. I tried adding this expires caching code to my .
   htaccess; however, it caused a 500 internal server error. I am assuming it is
   because the host provider does not have the mod_expires module enabled.
 * Hoping someone out there has figured this one out.

 * First of all, use non-blocking using Async in minfication settings.
    Also, not
   all render blocking code can be removed above the fold. This is why you want 
   to use non-blocking with Async.
 * I just posted in another thread with reco’d settings for minfication. You just
   can’t optimize all the code PSS reports on.

 * Changing the js minify settings from default (blocking) to non-blocking using“
   async” reliably takes my Page Speed score down from 93 to 85. Maybe it’s just
   my setup, but I thought I’d just report that.

 * … but Google Page Speed still recommends “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript
   and CSS in above-the-fold content” for 10 resources. The only thing I can think
   of to do is to write code myself to deregister the resources and then load them
   in a different place, but that would be a hassle every time a plugin gets updated.
