Autoptimize CriticalCss.com Power-Up funktioniert nicht

I installed Autoptimize and Rapidload. Rapidload has brought a significant improvement in speed, but not yet in the top range.

After there were difficulties with critical css at Rapidload and the employees there couldn’t solve it either, I registered at criticalcss.com and booked the API key with WP Integration.

Now my loading times are worse again, especially the speed index is in the red area for most pages, sometimes also the LCP.

Technically, I can only see that rules have been created and new jobs have been created, but these always remain on “N” and are not processed.

In addition, I have set up Woocommerce so that 4 products/categories are always displayed next to each other. But at times it becomes 2 like on the mobile version, then 4 again.

I have already written emails to the given contact at criticalcss.com for problems (a week ago) but have not received a reply.

I can’t find any exact procedure or setting instructions online either.

Can someone please help me here?

Morning gesundegeschenke ??

Your initial setup is OK, you have jobs (new ones will be added, processed and then removed, which is why you see N jobs there all the time, this is normal) and more importantly you have rules.

Regarding the number of products in a row; can you try ticking “unload Critical CSS after page load” in Settings -> Autoptimize -> Critical CSS -> Advanced settings?

Regarding loading times; based on a review of your homepage’s performance, the main perf. issue to be fixed is “reduce initial server response time” (aka “time to first byte”). I see you are using W3 Total Cache, but only for database caching & lazyload but not for page caching, but page caching is what could help you most here.

hope this helps,

Und wie das hilft!

Nur ein H?ckchen ver?ndert die Welt…

Ich war kurz davor, das Ding zu l?schen. Jetzt ist es perfekt!

Alles im grünen TOP Bereich. Ich bin sehr glücklich darüber. Vielen Dank für die super schnelle Antwort und gro?artige Hilfe.

Wünsche einen traumhaft sch?nen Tag!

And how that helps!
Just a tick changes the world…
I was about to delete that thing. Now it’s perfect!
Everything in the green TOP area.
I’m very happy about that. Thanks for the super quick response and great help.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy to read so! Feel free to leave a review of the plugin and support here! ??

Viele Grü?e aus Belgi?n,

Warum verschlechtern sich die Werte wieder?

Steht critical css irgendwie in Konkurrenz zu rapidload?

no, criticalCSS & rapidload should work together just fine. which values specifically are getting worse gesundegeschenke ?

Auf jeden Fall CLS und TBT.
LCP ist immer an der Grenze von 2,5

Eine Mitarbeiterin hat mir vorgeschlagen, lazyload zu deaktivieren, das habe ich gemacht.
Aber es l?uft immer weniger gut.

I did some test of the homepage in PageSpeed Insights, the most important issue -by far- is the “server response time” being too long (which impacts almost all other KPI’s). Do you have page caching and (if yes) are you sure it is working correctly?

Initial Server Response time wird nur manchmal angezeigt, nicht immer.

Habe seit heute WP Rocket installiert und w3 Total Cache deaktiviert. WP Rocket sollte besser cachen als W3.

Aber wie kann der CLS bei Ihnen so niedrig sein?? Bei mir ist er immer miserabel.

Soll ich LazyLoading für Bilder wieder aktivieren?

I *think* that PWA-plugin might be interfering with WP Rocket causing the server response time to be bad (I did 3 tests and in each one “server response time” was marked the biggest issue).

Re. lazyloading; WordPress has browser-native lazyloading, which in theory is better then JS-driven one (such as available in AO and WP Rocket and Jetpack and …) and depending on the context it _can_ introduce extra CLS. I would try with and without and compare scores.

Re. CLS; the “image width and height” recommendations in Pagespeed Insights is very important in that context, the image of the webwiki rating widget (which is above the fold so very visible) does not have a width/ height (or other indicators of size) set, so that one most certainly will cause CLS.

Guten Morgen,

Danke für die Vorschl?ge.

Den Button von webwiki habe ich in die sidebar umgelagert und Werte sind im grünen Bereich, au?er Speed Index = 7,1.

Serverzeit bei 4,4 sec.

CLS ist immer noch über 0,1.

PWA deaktiviert.

re. server response time; 4s is waaaaay to long, something is wrong here, I would contact WP Rocket (they do great support) or your host to hear why despite WP Rocket the server response time is still so high (it should ideally be between 0.5s max).

re. CLS; when testing https://www.gesunde-geschenke.com/?random=45qsfd3 (which disables WP Rocket while keeping AO incl. CCSS & Rapidload active) I see barely any CLS, so one of the options you’re using in WP Rocket (JS delaying) is impacting your CLS?

lastly; you have many optimization things running concurrently (AO + WP Rocket + jetpack boost + jetpack image optimization) and there is some overlap in your configuration (which can cause issues). My advice would be to go for WP Rocket (for page caching only) + AO for lazyloading and optionally image optimization (uses the Shortpixel optimization CDN, this might incur a cost) + CSS/ JS opt. + CCSS and Rapiload.
