Minify CSS

Hi David,

Good for you! Speed counts for a lot.
Since that css is coming from Google’s cdn (developers.google.com/speed/libraries/#jquery-ui), you would have to replace the link to it with the link to the minified version
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
which you can do if you have access to edit your files directly.

It’s possible, though, that that jQuery ui script is being loaded by a plugin, in which case, there is not much you can do.

Here are some other tips for speeding up your site:

Know next to nothing about coding. Can you explain how to replace this link.

@davidsgiftscouk, I think you can accomplish the minification through a plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bwp-minify/

Hi David,
Was the plugin you used originally to minify your css the same one as the one Andrew is recommending? If not, you might try that first before editing your files, if, as you say, you know next to nothing about coding.

Do you have access to your theme files to edit them?
