    When I activate the plugin my page speed improves but i have some issues mainly the fact that my page seems to flash for a second when loading, it shows a white background and my text before loading the skin of the site, I am using beaver builder pro.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi David,
    test
    Thank you for the report and for leaving the website with the plugin for testing!

    The problem you describe is called a Flash of unstyled content (FOUC)

    It is an indication that you did not create or set the correct Critical CSS.

    I have checked your website and I can confirm that the Critical CSS is empty.

    <style type="text/css">/*! Above The Fold Optimization 2.4.4 */</style>

    The problem is not related to the plugin.

    The plugin is not intended as a simple ‘on/off’ plugin. It is intended as a tool for optimization professionals and advanced WordPress users.

    I am about to release v2.5 that contains several new features such as conditional critical CSS and a Critical CSS quality tester to compare the critical CSS with the full CSS. This last feature will enable you to see if the critical CSS has been configured correctly.

    To resolve the problem it is required to generate critical CSS.

    This article by Google engineer Addy Osmani provides information about the available methods for creating critical path CSS. You can check out https://www.criticalcss.com for a paid critical path CSS generator that is intended to make critical CSS generation easy.

    I hope that this answer will be helpful to make use of the plugin and to achieve a Google PageSpeed 100 Score!
