Hi I have been running some benchmarks and other scoring tools against my sites and the CSS file included in this plug-in is coming up on multiple test tools as something either reducing page load time, reducing ranking scores, or adding a caveat to my HTTPS vs. a nice unqualified HTTPS padlock in the browser.

I was hoping you could take a look at the following findings and try to address some of them in the next update. A lot of it seems like it could become N/A if it didn’t need a custom CSS and it could be overridden and forced to use the websites defined plug-in. I’ve seen this option in several other plug-ins.

A lot of the steps I followed were covered in this article I found:
https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-analyze-your-wordpress-installations-performance–wp-26472

Tools used:
Google ScoreCard
P3 Profiler
Chrome & Firefox Inspector modes

Though a lot of the specifics below are from Google Score Card

Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.
Compressing https://website.org/…/noaa-weather/noaa-weather.css?ver=3.8.1 could save 1.9KiB (68% reduction).

Compacting CSS code can save many bytes of data and speed up download and parse times.
Minify CSS for the following resources to reduce their size by 1.5KiB (54% reduction).

Minifying https://website.org/…/noaa-weather/noaa-weather.css?ver=3.8.1 could save 1.5KiB (54% reduction).

Even if the rest of my page is HTTPS, this is the only plug-in that attempts to load HTTP; you may need to unhard code HTTP somewhere as
browsers by default block the content.

There have also been comments abut the images still could be compressed a bit more.

Thanks for the plug-in I appreciate your efforts!

The css file is there for people to format the plugins output for some themes where it may not look good “out of the box”. There are plugins for WordPress that will minify and combine files to reduce the page load time.

I will investigate “forced to use the websites defined plug-in” and possibly registering the css with “https” instead of “http”. If I specify “https” and it falls back to “http” if necessary that may work.
