Wordpress LScache Plugin: Critical CSS Enabled but still 96% CSS unused
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Sorry for the potentially noob question but here it goes. Im using the LiteSpeed plugin and have enabled the Generate Critical CSS option (and combine, minify, etc). When I load my website I can see that effectively, LiteSpeed has taken over the CSS and regenerated a file: /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs /0c744.css?815a0 Having said that, when I run Lighthouse, Im warned that a lot of the code is not used. Using the coverage tool in Chrome, I also see 96.8% unused bytes. For whats worth, critical JS also has 72.8% bytes unused. Is this normal and expected? I was hoping for something like
