Critical CSS not minified in Safari?

    I’m new to Autoptimize and CriticalCSS, so I could be doing this ALL wrong.

    The bigger issue is I’m still getting miserable PageSpeed Insights scores (9/46) after deploying this last night.

    As I was digging in, though, I see that the Critical CSS is showing as not minified in Safari, but minified as expected in Chrome and Firefox.

    Is this just Safari working some code display magic when I view source? Or a sign that things aren’t quite right in how I’ve set up the combination of Autoptimize and CriticalCSS?

    Thanks for any thoughts on the micro and macro issues.

    re. Safari: they must be “prettifying” the CCSS ??

    re. pagespeed score:
    1. you still have 2 render-blocking JS-files, one from Vimeo (try using a video lazyload plugin maybe) and the other one jquery.min.js.

    for jQuery you could try to;
    * remove js/jquery/jquery.js from the Autoptimize exclusion JS field
    * or tick the “Defer jQuery and other non-aggregated JS-files?” option in AO CCSS advanced options
    In both cases test extensively to see nothing breaks.

    2. GPSI states big improvements when having “nextgen images”, so try finding a solution to serve WebM (and optionally AVIF) images. Autoptimize’s image optimization can do that, but there obviously are other solutions.

    3. Unused JS is not actionable, but unused CSS is with a premium service called “rapidload”, see the “optimize more” tab in Autoptimize

    4. your site (homepages) is very dependent on JavaScript, both local and 3rd party (vimeo, live chat, …), which means all that JS has to be download, parsed and executed which is affecting your “main thread” time causing higher total blocking time/ time to interactive, try relying less on JS somehow?

    hope this helps,

    Hi Frank,

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. My focus is content and editorial SEO, so I’ve been a bit flummoxed by speed scores. Despite this, I offered to help a client and the deadline/lack of knowledge brought me to Autoptimize and, I’m already planning to add today, Rapidload CSS.

    Cheers!

    Tim
