Hummingbird files delaying render

    I’ve been using the Asset Optimization on my site which helped cleanup and compress/combine/defer several files, but now Lighthouse is telling me that the Hummingbird-assets files are the ones blocking rendering. I’m not seeing any way to defer the files created via Hummingbird, so I’m wondering how to actually deal with this.

    Thanks!

    Hi @pmattei,

    I suppose you meant regarding “Eliminate render-blocking resources” if yes, you can check the following suggestion regarding deferring and moving the files to the footer to see whether it helps.
    https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/hummingbird/#eliminate-render-blocking-resources
    https://wpmudev.com/blog/eliminate-render-blocking-issues-hummingbird/

    You’ll have to 1st ensure “Manual” mode is enabled in Asset Optimization to make further tweaks regarding the above.

    What Hummingbird does is combine and minify all the CSS and JS files into one sngile CSS and JS files; hence, you notice CSS and JS files with /hummingbird-assets path.

    So suppose there are 10 JS files loaded on your website; after minification and combining, the total JS files would be reduced to 5; this would help with improving the score further.

    Please do note that the numbers mentioned, 10 and 5 are just examples, and it entirely depends upon your theme and the number of plugins on how the /hummingbird-assets files are created.

    Could we know whether the above tweaks mentioned in the given article were performed?

    Please do let us know how that goes. Looking forward to your response.

    Kind Regards,
