Not able to resolve Defer parsing speed issues

well, as written earlier;
1. don’t use WPFC’s minification but let AO handle that instead @dogwithblog
2. “inline all css” (easy) or “inline & defer css” (better) as per the FAQ

additionally for all those external resources;
* consider “remove google fonts” option in AO
* consider using a simpler facebook share (which does not source in all the FB magic)
* consider disabling jetpacks’ gravatar hovercard, …

Thank you Frank, I’ve made the changes as suggested by you.

I had unchecked WPFC minification last night only and am using “inline & defer css”

All except:

* consider using a simpler facebook share (which does not source in all the FB magic) — I’m exploring alternatives for this ??

Unfortunately, the GtMetrix scores are still B and D.

Also, whenever the blog is loading, for an initial few seconds the text, images and everything are kind of overlapping (broken) before they turn as per the theme.

Sorry for the trouble, I am kind of stuck here and seek your help ??

whenever the blog is loading, for an initial few seconds the text, images and everything are kind of overlapping (broken) before they turn as per the theme

that’s because you’re doing inline & defer but did not enter your “above the fold” CSS in the input field. have another look at the FAQ there @dogwithblog ??

Thank you Frank!

My bad! However finding this critical CSS path is tricky for me ??

Going with ‘inline all CSS’ ??
