css processing – broken website

Hi and thanks for reporting.

I think that your server might be blocking some http requests, because what you see on the “view log” button as – REQUEST FAILED – has been requested by the wordpress api to your site.

Now this can happen if the url is wrong or if the server is blocking the requests somewhere. If only a few have the – REQUEST FAILED – that could be a rate limit or something else.

Can you post the complete contents of that failed log files or a screenshot please?

Hi Raul
thanks a lot for your answer.
i apologise. On my first contact i forgot to thank you for this “best in class plugin”
despite the problem i have since the version 1.4.5, I remain convinced it is one of the best i ever seen! ??

These are the logs reported in the plugin. (i replaced my domain name and the port). if needed i can share this information with you offline.

the message reported on the browser is 504 Gateway Time-out nginx

note: my site is intended to work on https. i added a plugin which replace widely the http or https with // this for avoiding having mixed content problems.
i didn’t check – if you think useful i can deactivate it, and force here the https, and also to rewrite this part of the .htaccess

additional information – my dev website is hosted on a synology system (this is why the combination of different web servers) and the server is in prod. the dev website is on the virtual host in purpose, before it is migrated to a new hosting.

thanks a lot

Hello Raul

just did a quick check to the plugin – WP Async CSS – created by Robert S?ther.
I saw a mention of this plugin in one of your recent discussions, on the version 1.4.4 asking you to implement this ??
The behaviour is exactly the same (nginx gateway error).
It looks like my website “does not appreciate” the functions included. Maybe there are somme commonalities in processing the css in between that plugin any fast velocity?…
Is there any incompatibility with Apache 2.4/php7 of that supposed feature.

thanks in advance
best regards,
B

I think I may have a solution for you shortly, hold on.

Thanks a lot ??
maybe a “switch” in between using the “old” techno and “new” techno for CSS ?
could be nice.
info – i already tried the version 1.4.7.1 – with no success.

thanks
B

Hi, can you try version 1.4.8 and tell me if it fixed it for you?

It seems to be requesting from //fonts.googleapis.com/ just fine, but not from //myFQDN:myPort/…

I’m not sure if it’s because your url has a port number, if it’s because the url is incorrect, ssl fails, or if it’s getting it from the live site where the files do not exist… but we will get there if you like.

For now, try 1.4.8 it should work on css at least.

Yes Sir!

Perfect ?? now it is working !
There are some css not correctly loading in frontend as “planned”, but this is normal.
I will exclude them on the proposed list ??

really Great! This is a 5 star plugin!
your support is best in class. I also really appreciate the “pro” clean implementation, and the missing advertising/add-ons or hard pushing by any mean for buying something.

All my best regards and success for the new devlopments!
