Can i use W3 Total cache plugin with a child theme

Thanks but I have no idea how to do all that :(. Right now, i am using minify CSS by cloudflare , and minify html and js by W3 total cache. Its working fine for now.

Good choice, I also play around that before but frustrated process. Currently touched average 1.5s (all location speed test at gtmetrix.com speed test tools) speed load if fully combined use with CF.

That’s a good speed. Mine sucks. I usually get B grade in pagespeed (91 for home page but 80-89 on other pages) but C or D in Y slow (60-75) on GTmetrix. Tools.pingdom shows my website is slower than 90% of websites. Cloudflare doesn’t seem to improve anything. I am using just the CDN because on using rocketloader, my traffic goes down about 30% of actual.

Grade and score was not important. Is for recommendation purposes.

Is important all our (ALL PAGES) optimization tasks will work across all browser (safari, firefox, Chrome, IE 8/9/10/11, android, iPhone, mobile browser) and average wiihin 4s (with social media button and social media addon) at ALL traffic locations. The best speed load was within 3s.

@jayantkumar.iitr To do what Watch Teller said you have to go to WP-Admin > Performance > Minify, under the CSS section modify @import handling to bubble or process.

In general settings, i put minify CSS to manual. Then, selected Bubble for Css minify. Now, site is loading fine. Thanks to all of you guys ??

I had enabled process at @import handling section and selected my “theme name” child (must have child theme).

If you choose child theme (import parent theme stylesheet CSS) normally all speed test tools will recommend “avoid CSS @import”. Unless you know the workaround tricks.

Yups, cloudflare shows the message “avoid CSS imports”. But i can’t as i have to modify the header of my theme which shouldn’t be done in parent theme.

But i can’t as i have to modify the header of my theme which shouldn’t be done in parent theme.

Why not modify this on the child theme?

Create the following file

wp-content/themes/tempera-child/functions.php

and place the following code

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tempera_parent_style' );

function tempera_parent_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'tempera-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

Now edit the child theme’s style.css and remove @import.

i have copied and pasted the functions.php in child theme. I am doing all the editing there. If I copy the above function in the head of functions.php and remove the @import line from style.css of child, will it work the same way without showing the “avoid css import” suggestion in pagespeed of GTmetrix? Actually, i am zero in php :(. Know a little bit html, css, js.

thanks ??
