Google Page Speed

One of my few issues in Google Page Speed is tragicomically…. Autoptimizer with a css!
How can one change that? ??

by reading the FAQ maybe? ??

no, seriously, you can either “inline all CSS” or go for the more complex but better “inline & defer”, both of which are indeed described in the FAQ.

have fun! ??

?? I had fun!
Thanks for your patience and humour, Frank. I did not see the relation between these things.

Now I let Mr. Ohlsson′s website look for this critical path css and did what you said, put it in the text field in the plugin options for inline and defer css.
There was no change, IMHO because what it found was only

body {
color: #202020;
}

Funny and obviously enough, it was not the critical autoptimize css. I cleared the cache and Google Page Speed showed no humour and subtracted 2 more percent on mobile. ??

It is all so critical. ??

critical CSS is indeed not always that easy, you could try https://gist.github.com/PaulKinlan/6284142 as well?

inline all CSS is easier, but is only useful if you don’t have too much CSS.

Thanks again, Frank, but as I am not a code pro this link is more than rocket science to me. ??

I will try the “inline all” version, although there is a lot of CSS in my site. Last chance… ??
……
Having done that, by the first glimpse there is an improvement in Google PS, but (another paradox) the site is slower in building up. ??
Ach ach… (that′s a German sigh ?? )

I will observe this further…

All the best for you

the critical CSS code should be used as a “bookmarklet” in Chrome. for a small primer on bookmarkets see e.g. here

this article on wpfaster.org is a good resource on “inline & defer” by the way.

yeah, GPSI tests against general best practices, but best practices don’t always yield the best result. this is why -for now- I keep CSS loaded the normal way. although “render blocking” this is the most reliable way really.

Could just as well be a Dutch (Flemish) sigh ??

Thank you for you time and effort!
Ach…. yes, some emotional sounds are pretty universal… ??

I never had chrome but I will study your links and see if there is still an improvement possible and a compromise between loading time and “page speed” … ?? .
