Hi Frank. Just an FYI that I also had trouble getting the new auto rules to fire (just sitting there with a “N”) after adding the API key. I did a search of the forum and followed some suggestions, deactivating and activating, etc. I then checked my cron jobs and the “ao_ccss_queue” cron was missing. I found a previous post with a similar issue and I added the cron as per these instructions. It’s probably my install but since this is beta, I thought I should let you know just in case. Cheers.
1. go to “tools” -> “cron events”
2. scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the “add cron event”
3. set hook name to ao_ccss_queue
4. set recurrence to 10 minutes (“Autoptimize CriticalCSS.com power-up cron”)
5. click on “add cron event”
6. check if indeed it appears in the list of events when you refresh the page
