Asynchronous CSS & JS Files Still Render-Blocking

  • Using:
    WordPress 6.3.2
    WP-Optimize 3.2.19

    Troubles:

    • CSS & JS files placed in the ‘Exclude from Processing’ and ‘Load Asynchronously‘ fields within WP-Optimize continue to be render-blocking.

    Screenshots:

    Pagespeed.web.dev showing that WP-Optimized Files which are excluded & asynchronously loaded are still render-blocking.

    How can this be resolved? What is the solution to this issue?

    If you have excluded files from processing this means they will not be deferred or loaded asynchronously. If you want them to be loaded asynchronously, please remove them from the “Exclude the following CSS files from processing” section

    I would also check if your site has http2 enabled, if it does, you should not enable minification or merging.

    You can use a tool such as this to check: https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test
