Suggestion: Put shortcode CSS in the head instead of the footer

    I noticed that this plugin enqueues the CSS in the footer, when the post’s shortcodes are being processed. This does not seem very good for performance. Could you make the plugin add the CSS in the head instead of the footer, such as by scanning the post for shortcodes and enqueuing the correct CSS in the head?

  • Yes definately. This needs to happen. I tried changing the code myself but couldnt get it to work. At least have an option to choose head or footer. Thanks.

    I agree, this would mean so much!

    How do we get the developer to do it. It would mean soo much. Improvement in page load time, Pagespeed and YSlow score, etc.

    Unfortunately, I can’t do this.

    Shortcodes loads different style sheets when it’s needed.

    I know, I can check page’s content for different shortcodes and then load style sheets in head section. But shortcodes can be used not only in the content. They can be used in different custom fields, widgets, theme’s files and everywhere.

    So, I don’t plan to change this system. Sorry guys!

    Could you advise me on how I could modify the plugin to get it into the head? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

    I use mod_pagespeed’s move_css_to_head and move_css_above_scripts filters to put the CSS in the head. That was what worked for me.
