HTTP Request Score has not improved ?

Hi Gabe

I did another test on Pingdom Website Test & I can verify a significant improvement in the performance. The HTTP Request # has reduced from 232 to 142.

Compliments on a lovely plugin.

@mave27 thanks for the update! I did check quickly your website, and it looks like on the homepage (at least there, consider reviewing other pages too), there’s a large CSS that could be unloaded. It’s “premium-addons“. Try to unload it and then test the homepage properly. In my tests – https://www.foodguide.co.ke/?wpacu_unload_css=premium-addons – it looks like the homepage looks the same as with the CSS loaded.

Thanks for replying.

I have some qtns for the Plugin settings if you don’t mind:

1. It seems to ‘unload’ a Plugin CSS file (eg premium-addons) is available on the Pro version ? | https://prnt.sc/mPCLOG8MuGLn
2. The Plugin settings has changed the default theme colour from Red to Blue – have a look at the Contact link on the header | https://prnt.sc/BTFhaQjVfsL5
3. The Plugin settings has ‘overridden’ a CSS Code snippet to hide the ‘Call Us’ & ‘Send Message’ links on Booking Contact SideBar | https://prnt.sc/A4_tjRQOMlZ- | https://prnt.sc/2dE7kdLg9Ts2

How can I fix issues #2 & #3 ?

@mave27

The feature you mentioned is from the “Plugins Manager” which is an area available for Pro users. This allows you to unload whole plugins (including any DB queries and PHP functions they trigger), not just their CSS/JS files. If you want to unload CSS/JS files from the “Premium Addons for Elementor” plugin, you can do that using the Lite version too by going to the CSS/JS manager, locating the file you want to unload, and applying the rule (e.g., “unload on this page”, “unload on all pages belonging to a specific post type”, etc.).

There’s a chance the CSS might be affected if you unloaded something that shouldn’t be unloaded. Try to load back all the CSS files then unload them again one by one. If you notice a change that shouldn’t happen, then the last file you unloaded, should be kept loaded. Sometimes, you need to go through trial and error in order to apply all the necessary rules on a page in order to make it lighter and get a higher PageSpeed score.
