 * Hello everyone, I have recently built a website using Avada, for caching purposes
   I have used this plugin, I have been in contact with the Avada support on various
   performance issues and since I have not found a solution yet, I have turned here
   for help. As you can see below I have attached a link to my website’s gtmetrix
   scores, mind you they are pretty good, but I have some warnings that I want to
   get rid of, first and foremost is the render blocking, open the file you will
   see that it loads fonts from languages that I most certainly don’t use, the Avada
   support team told me that is was a plugin problem, so I am here. Lastly I would
   to know to how and if possible to get rid of the unused css.

 * Hello [@georgempouk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgempouk/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Yes, I can
   see that GtMetrix is suggesting that one file is render-blocking: [https://uc.gds.com.gr/wp-content/cache/minify/171b6.css](https://uc.gds.com.gr/wp-content/cache/minify/171b6.css)
   The results are actually much better when testing the website with HTTPS instead
   of HTTP protocol [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/uc.gds.com.gr/Q4lPYaZx/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/uc.gds.com.gr/Q4lPYaZx/)
   W3 Total Cache can only minify files. When you are using Auto Minify, W3 Total
   Cache does its best to minify and combine all files. If you try and disable Minify,
   you will see which files are render-blocking, and once minified to a CSS file,
   that file will also be recognized as render-blocking. W3 Total Cache has the 
   option to “Eliminate render-blocking CSS by moving it to HTTP body” in Performance
   >Minify>CSS. With this option you can eliminate that file as render-blocking,
   however, this option is only available in the Pro version of the Plugin.
 * I hope this helps!
 * Thanks!
