“default.inlcude” css cached and blocking

    Hi,

    I have noticed render blocking css (2 sec.) but to my surprise it was a cached version by w3 total, added to manual minify (all templates, combine & minify).

    A current example is this css:

    https://www.pflanzkompass.at/wp-content/cache/minify/34f44.default.include.fe675d.css

    It shows up in the console and is reported as render blocking by speed tests. There was another such example (also render blocking) which has resolved after it had been removed from minify. So the problem is sort of repeatable, although I do not understand why it affects only certain css.

    What could be the reason for this behavior?

    Best regards

    Martin

    Hello @martyshka

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
    The location of the CSS files are different. Once minified, you may merge different css files and some of them are embeded <head>. Once you add all those files to CSS minify, depending on other files <body><footer> the location of the minified CSS may appear as render blocking.
    In W3 Total Cache, under the CSS minify settings, the option “Eliminate render-blocking?CSS?by moving it to?HTTP?body” can be used to embed minified files/file in head and remove them as render blocking

    Can you please sahre the screenshot of the Performance>Minify settings and also pelase let me know which specific files when added to minify make the minified file render blocking?

    Thanks!

    Hello @vmarko,

    I don’t have this option “Eliminate render blocking…” for css. I use manual nimification. https://prnt.sc/kza_JplyZbCX

    The file is wp-content/themes/xstore/css/modules/layout/header/parts/search.min.css or https://www.pflanzkompass.at/wp-content/cache/minify/34f44.default.include.fe675d.css in its minified version. It is embe

    Thank you! Best regards

    Hello @martyshka

    Thank you for your feedback.
    Ok, so you are using CSS Tidy instead of Minify (default) for CSS minifier.
    This does not have the mentioned option.
    Now, I’ve checked your website and also checked the speed test and I am not seeing that the minified CSS file is marked as render-blocking.

    Can you please sahre any screenshot of what and where you are seeing this?
    Thanks!
