Querystring with ?jb-generate-critical-css= loads wrong page

    Im having a problem:

    Homepage url is just /.
    Any url with a querystring added to the homeurl lands on the homepage.
    But any url with this specific querystring will land on the page_for_posts set in settings. “?jb-generate-critical-css=123123”

    When i change the querystring to ?jb-asdasd-critical-css=123123, (so i basically “break” the string) it loads the homepage as expected.

    When i disable jetpack boost plugin, this url (?jb-generate-critical-css=123123) neatly goes to the homepage again.

    So this means the jetpack plugin is messing with the redirect of the url with ?jb-generate-critical-css=123123 in it and leads it to the posts page. So this prevents me from generating critical CSS…

    It only happens with the Jetpack on… How can this be?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @arjanjenny,

    The ?jb-generate-critical-css parameter is specifically used by Jetpack Boost to initiate the process of generating Critical CSS for your site. Essentially, it’s telling the plugin to create a streamlined version of your CSS that focuses on what’s visible to users when they first load your site—helping it to appear faster and improving performance.

    It’s unusual for this parameter to cause a redirect away from the homepage, and that’s certainly not the intended behavior. We’d like to take a closer look to understand what’s happening.

    Could you please provide the URL of your site? If you’d prefer to keep it private, no worries—feel free to use our contact form to share the details securely.

    In the meantime, a useful step to troubleshoot would be to temporarily disable all other plugins except for Jetpack Boost. This can help determine if there’s a conflict causing this unexpected redirect. If the issue resolves after doing this, try reactivating the plugins one by one to pinpoint the culprit.

    Looking forward to helping you sort this out!

    I will share the details via the contact form. But i already switched to a default theme, and disabled all plugins and it still happens.
