Critical CSS: Please insert *AFTER* all SEO tags in the [head]

    CriticalCSS customer here.

    Can you please make it so that the critical CSS gets inserted *AFTER* all of WordPress’ SEO tags? In other words, can you please insert it as the very last element before </head>?

    My critical CSS is quite lengthy, making it impossible to easily “view source” of my SEO tags within <head></head> because they are pushed so far down the “view source” window. That’s bad for bots like Googlebot, as well. Please advise.

    you should be able to do that using below code snippet Jason;

    add_filter('autoptimize_filter_css_replacetag','override_css_replacetag',10,1);
function override_css_replacetag($replacetag) {
    return array('</head>','before');
}

    hope this helps,
    frank

    Can you please tell me where, exactly, I should place that code? Thanks!

    The easiest & safest solution is using the code snippets plugin.

    I just added it to my child theme’s functions.php file and all is well!

    Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why you have not made this “insert after SEO tags” placement the default?

    Thanks!
