Okay, so if I deactivate that option it will allow me to edit without deactivating AO? And will Yoest then see the text?

And would that then not mean that search bots can’t see the text?

Thanks for your rapid response Frank.

I’m a bit useless at this kind of thing, but the way my autoptimize it set up, it seems to be blocking the text on my site from being read by google for rankings. Is that right?

don’t see how Neil, why do you think so?

Yoest isn’t seeing the text unless I deactivate AO. (I also can’t edit anything with pagebuilder unless I deactivate AO). And I am not appearing in results at all for some searches where my text content means I should.

As for the unused CSS/JS, your reply makes sense. Thanks. Told you I’m not very good at this kind of thing.

That’s the problem. The CSS is blocking the lazysizes.mimn.js somehow. It’s actually not working. Just going in a loop – loads like a mess, loads without photos, loads fine, and round and round.
You have to clear cache every time to see it. And it does seem that GT Metrix keeps a cache because it takes ages to see it. But lighthouse sees it immediately, but you need to look at the render image to see that it’s not loading properly.
We’re just a wee B&B up in Glencoe, and for the first time this year there’s stacks of snow. People will be up in their droves, and we can’t get the site working properly so people can book.

Ok Frank. Now I have it working. The link in my last message shows it when it wasn’t working, which is what I was getting all the time. So honest guv, I wasn’t messing about. But now it’s loading, and if you’re seeing no errors then all must be good at last. Just amazed you weren’t seeing the issue when I was getting it on several devices on several browsers and the page speed tests. Sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for checking it for me several times.

How do I attache a screen shot here and I’ll show you?

Here it worked again for a wee while on my browser but not on lighthouse or GT metrix. But now it’s gone again from all.

Are you sure that’s not a cached version you’re seeing? I’ve got screen shots to show you rocket is gone and AO is on but can’t figure out how to attach them here.

It seems to be intermittent. Can you try again, or try loading it on GT Metrix or google speed test?
So since earlier we removed rocket lazy load and switched it on in AO. Also from a thread I was following earlier, we removed W3TC and replaced it was WP super cache. But since then it’s been going kinda crazy.

Hi Frank, any chance you can take a look now?

Ignore that. It’s back again. Let me try and sort it and get back to you if I have more problems.

It’s not working again already. I don’t know what my web guy has done, nothing I think, but while it’s not loading photos can you please take a quick look and see why?

Okay, thanks. Seems someone went in and switched off the lazy load from JS Optimization. I’ll get him to switch to AO’s. Thank you.

I am also checking on google developers page speed test and GT Metrix, neither are seeing the photos.

Thanks for getting back to me. I cleared the cache. Have done several times in the last hour. Sometimes the photos load, most of the time they don’t
