 * I’m not sure why, but switching off this option seems to ruin the layout of the
   site, as if some of the CSS gets deleted?

 * Not deleted, but CSS when taken out of order can get overwritten, so that’s likely
   what is happening
 * Any particular reason why you need “also aggregate inline CSS” unchecked?

 * My cache is getting full within 3-4 days. I’m aware my site has a lot of CSS 
   at the moment, but trying to combat having to empty cache a couple of times a
   week

 * have a look at the inline CSS and try to exclude only that which has random-looking
   strings in the selectors, that way you can keep “also aggregate inline CSS” while(
   hopefully) keeping cache size under control?

 * Okay thanks, I’ll look into that. For future reference, is there a way of disabling
   this option (or even the plugin entirely) without taking CSS out of order or 
   getting overwritten?

 * no, afraid the only way to ensure correct order is either to aggregate all (so
   incl. inline) OR not to aggregate at all. generally the issue with things being
   overwritten can be worked around with some small tweaks to the CSS though, so
   that could also be an option?

 * were you able to find the right inline CSS to exclude marconi661 ?

 * No feedback so I assume you were able to indentify what needed to be excluded?
   Feel free to follow up if you still encounter issues!
 * have a nice day!
