    Hey there @merlyncadence,

    The CSS files are render-blocking by default. The idea behind the combined CSS is to reduce the requests to the server, by combining all of the CSS files into one file, meaning that only one request will be made. If you want to reduce the size of that combined CSS file, you may need to reduce the CSS that your site uses initially. Using a well-optimized theme, reducing the CSS rules not used per page will help you achieve that. Keep in mind that some plugins may add additional CSS which will increase the size.

    The same goes for the combined JS. Some plugins/themes may add a javascript file, that is not being used on a specific page, but it loads it every time. This increases the size of the combined file. In order to reduce that size, you should use well-optimized themes, and making sure that scripts are loaded only when needed.

    Kind regards,
    Stoyan
