and do you get a white screen when going to the site @otismrt? if so, can you try enabling the legacy minifiers as per the FAQ?

The legacy minifiers worked eliminating the white screen Thanks.

However pagespeed now tells me I have 5 blocking CSS resources, 4 of them autoptimize files

When I select “Inline and Defer CSS” and paste in 1 or all of the above after opening and copying, I get an error msg saying the file is too big. Purged all caches. Any suggestions?

first and foremost; you’re using 2 minifiers? that’s a bad idea @otismrt, this leads to unexpected results (including “white screens of death” in some cases).

regarding your critical CSS; autoptimize_7164db47d2e8022cdde218bb48f709c7.css is very big, you could try splitting it in 2 and for then generate your critical CSS 5 times, combining the resulting code into one block. or try this one maybe.

oh, right. W3 Cache minify. disabled that. Cut paste and purged using your fix. Still getting

last 4 are AO

you still have <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://crkiosk.org/wp-content/cache/minify/8a1b7.default.include.f74049.css" media="all">, so somehow there still is another minify messing around here ??

Frank, You’re great. W3 Cache still had a thing going on. I removed that and bingo. I went to donate to your plugin and saw your request to donate to a worthy cause. https://www.crkiosk.org is a worthy cause operating out of empty pockets until we get up and running and some donations in. So consider your request honored and your efforts appreciated. Our site is designed to help others and wouldn’t exist without open resources. I have little idea of what I am doing but with the help of people like you I am learning. Thanks for your patience and spirit!

happy to read that @otismrt, have a nice weekend (sunday)! ??
