Wordpress LScache Plugin: Rel=null and Defer= Problem
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 I am using Litespeed cache on my web site andwhen activate it with the settings enabled CSS Async defer javascript I see in source code that for css files rel= null and for javascript files defer= is empty. I think they must be filled with preload and defer. Please help about this issue. I use wordpress 5.0.3 and hen updated to 5.1 nothing has changed. Litespeed cache Version 2.9.4.1 This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by ksaltik. The page I need help with: https://chestnuthoney.com Hi @ksaltik, For the CSS rel=null on javascript code, is used for conditional checking, so its normal to find rel=null on your source code. For javascript files defer= is empty, our plugin will just put defer without value() on the script because the HTML defer Attribute just consider defer as a boolean. Could you try to disable LiteSpeed Cache to see is it another plugin/code which affecting the defer result? Thanks, Stanley Hi @ksaltik, Do you still need help with this? If so, please let us know what happens when you disable LiteSpeed Cache. Im going to mark this topic Resolved for now, but will re-open it if we hear from you again. Thanks!
