The page I need help with: https://lawinthenews.com/ Hi, you can try use load async css option Best regards, Hello, Load CSS Asynchronously is already set to ON. Pagespeed Insights indicates: Reduce unused CSS ? 1.65 s ? Reduce unused rules from stylesheets and defer CSS not used for above-the-fold content to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. ? https://lawinthenews.com/wp-content/litespeed/css/0c6249616a2db50c2456cecff9733453.css?ver=33453 https://lawinthenews.com/wp-content/litespeed/css/68c147ca020e0b71d6ddbcb632dbcd8e.css?ver=bcd8e https://lawinthenews.com/wp-content/litespeed/css/510156716354e0d10e39580066368d18.css?ver=68d18 ? I also noticed in the plugin notes When this option is turned ON, it will also load Google Fonts asynchronously. This also does not appear to be working as Pagespeed Insights indicates: Avoid chaining critical requests 9 chains found ? ?v19/6xKydSBYK?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) - 0 ms, 13.65 KiB ?v19/pxiEyp8kv?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) - 0 ms, 8.62 KiB ?v23/JTUSjIg1_?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) - 0 ms, 31.12 KiB ?v19/pxiByp8kv?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) - 0 ms, 8.54 KiB ?v19/6xKydSBYK?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) - 0 ms, 13.53 KiB ?v19/pxiGyp8kv?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) ? 30 ms, 9.37 KiB ?v19/pxiByp8kv?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) ? 0 ms, 8.47 KiB ?v47/TK3iWkUHH?.woff2(fonts.gstatic.com) ? 0 ms, 25.70 KiB ? Hi, for unused css, try CSS combine + generate UCSS the load gg font async works , if you check the source code, you will see they are giving swap attribute as PSI wants , and it gives 0 ms as saving time. best regards, Hi I updated the settings as you suggested (CSS combine + generate UCSS). Here is the result -> https://imgur.com/a/WdAP95G -> here is the css -> https://lawinthenews.com/wp-content/litespeed/css/0546dc1a53602589e7d465d07092cc13.css?ver=060ef This did not make any improvement to Reduce unused CSS . There is still a potential savings of 459.1 KiB and 2.876 s Any other suggestions? did you request the domain key in General page ? if you have domain key already , go to dashboard page and force generate UCSS/CCSS in your screenshot , the CSS file path is still /wp-content/litespeed/css/xxxxx.css , once UCSS is generated , it should show as /wp-content/litespeed/ucss/xxxxx.css Hi, yes I already have a domain key ? Requested: 02/07/2022 12:06:35 Approved: 02/07/2022 12:07:02 I do not see a force generate UCSS/CCSS on the dashboard, are you referring to Page Optimization > CSS Settings > Generate UCSS (toggle ON)? I referred this make sure you did a purge all after you enabled these options to trigger the queue for UCSS you will also need to enable CSS combine Hello, Unfortunately, I was having some conflicts between this plugin and my theme. My theme support recommended that I use another plugin. I am still using LSCache for a connection to my CDN at Quic.cloud but not using LSCahe to optimize my settings. Thank you for the help.
