Faling UCSS — any fix in sight?

    Hi

    I am getting following error on some pages:

    /* [ERROR] UCSS generation repeatedly took too long. Likely your CSS and/or HTML will need to be optimized. Your site has been temporarily blocked from the service. If you believe this to be an error, please contact support. */

    Page UCSS is not generated. This causes significant issues on the site. Firstly, Google page score difference between UCSS optimised pages and those problematic ones is about 30%!!! (UCSS page score is 95%, non-optimised is 65%) This is quite significant. Another problem is that one has no indication which pages succeed in UCSS generation and which one failed. It is impossible to clear all UCSS on the site with thousands of product pages, as regeneration will take significant time (and money) without any guarantee it will succeed next time.

    I do believe, this problem is an artificial limit somewhere. All product pages are pretty much same and some work, some fail. My gut feel — timing. Site is in Australia and latency is a bit longer when talking to US-based servers.

    Is it possible to increase the processing time limit or fix the issue once and for all? Would really appreciate it!

    Thank you!

    Hello @rudolfl

    I have read your message and here are a few advices I can give you:
    – IMPROVEMENTS will come, BUT I cannot give you a ETA for changes. We are aware of some things we need to improve and we are working on them
    – UCSS generation can be reset by clearing Unique CSS from: LSC -> Toolbox -> Purge -> Purge Unique CSS OR from Admin menu -> Purge All – UCSS but you will have the same results.
    – The problem you are facing is not because of servers that process your site, is the CSS quantity sent. Plugins/Theme will add their CSS that together is too much in some cases.

    I would wait for UCSS to finish(as much as possible) for now and after our server changes will be applied you can retry refreshing UCSS

    Thanks for replying.

    Yes, I know, I can clear individual pages UCSS, but how do I know which ones???? I have 3000+ products. Some UCSS was generated, some failed. Which is strange in itself, since CSS for all products is pretty much same. Exactly same page (in terms of layout and CSS), the only difference is images and text.

    “I would wait for UCSS to finish(as much as possible) for now and after our server changes will be applied you can retry refreshing UCSS”.

    How would I know when this happens? It will not be in the changelogs for the plugin or my server.
