 * Any chance anyone knows what to do about the numerous !important declaration 
   in the CSS of blocksy ?
    It negatively impact pagespeed assessment. Thank you!

 * Hello [@tghbnju1496](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tghbnju1496/)
 * Can you give us a specific example?
 * We assure you that we’ve tried our best, and even had external audits done on
   Blocksy to ensure code quality and performance. Every line of CSS has been carefully
   considered when it was added with quality and speed in mind.
 * I have noticed that in the other thread, this test of yours was misinterpreting
   Blocksy’s main CSS file as unneeded. Personally, I wouldn’t trust this test that
   much if it falsely flags the core theme files as unnecessary.
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@cteduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/)
    Thank you for
   the fast answer. It’s with yet another tool this time. I’m cross checking with
   different tools. Here is an example of a file with lot of !important
 * Yes it is possibly another false positive.

 * Hello [@tghbnju1496](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tghbnju1496/)
 * From my analysis of the file linked to us (the second one is generated by a caching
   plugin), the !important tags are there to ensure our colour and responsive system
   works correctly with third party page builders.
 * It is nothing to worry about and it does not affect the page speed.
 * Thanks
