Not sure where to suggest a feature so I figured here might be ok since we have a dialogue going anyway.

Would it be possible to include a configuration whereby we could load the autoptimize created css and js files asynchronously?

I’ve gotten a few errors on a few speed tools (PageSpeed Insights, GTMetrix) and that was one of the recommendations.

My theme requires the css and js files to load above-the-fold or it breaks so putting the files into the footer won’t work.

Anyway, just thought I’d ask as maybe others have the same issue?

Either way thanks again for an awesome plugin.

There are two options.

First, you can select CleanerPress in main nav menu on the left. You would select the option to use the plugin on specific pages and then copy the url’s you want in the provided box.

The second option is to do it page by page. When you open a page, at the bottom of the page you will see a box for Cleanerpress where you can enable/disable plugins for the page.

Hope this helps.

Hi James, thanks for the advice.

I ended up using a plugin called Cleanerpress which enabled me to choose which links my other plugins should be active on. So no more wasted styles and scripts on pages that aren’t using them.

The Autoptimize plugin also is working amazingly! I think the issue was in fact the staging vs. production environments. Once I moved my site back to Prod, plus a few other tweaks, I’ve been able to reduce the requests to 24 with a load time of 493 ms.

Awesome plugin and thank you again for the quick response to my question.

Thanks for the fast response!

Unfortunately I did try optimizing one at a time, but to no avail.

I just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced anything like this before previously.

I’m also wondering if it is something with my host, wpengine.

I’m working on a few tweaks as seen here – https://www.markdescande.com/speed-up-wp-engine/

Guess we’ll see what happens.

Thank you for the speedy response!

I tried to follow the documentation and poked around a little in several of my themes php files and came up with this.

<?php
function mysite_footer() {
	do_atomic( 'footer' );
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'mysite_footer');
?>

I placed the above code in the “Linkable Title Html and Php Widget” area I have in my footer and I get a parse error.

Seeing the error makes me think it obviously shouldn’t go there.

That said, where should it go? I don’t think it goes in the footer.php file, but then again maybe I’m wrong.

Thank you again.
