Don’t be silly. Just because it was attached to this plugin does not mean the author put it there. Most likely, you’ve screwed up somewhere along the way…

Damn! Sorry Frank. I’m just so used to AO that I assume W3 is a part of your outfit. Sorry about that.

Got it. Thanks Frank.

Cheers Frank. I’ll work on it and let you know how it goes. Much appreciated!

Thanks @bcworkz. Appreciate it and we’ll give it a go. Cheers.

It didn’t appear to change anything unfortunately. Still the same issue. A ctrl + f5 refresh will display the content of the page but that’s about the only way I can get it to render correctly but as soon as I navigate away, then come back, it is back to the black screen. Crazy that it is only a single page.

Sorry, I mean css. Critical path css. and yes, FF still had the black.

Thank you for the reply. I removed the critical path css, saved and flushed cache then tested on IE, Edge, Chrome, FF, Opera and while I had the flash you commented on, there was no change. I guess I can rule out CPS? Thank you for your continued effort.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help. It’s back on now but after disabling and clearing the cache and trying in a private tab on FF, I get the same result.

Thanks yet again Frank.

Try the one in the video then. https://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/

I was knee deep in this yesterday. If you watch the video at the very top of the page, it will help you get your critical path css so you can use the option to inline and defer. I used this site to get my critical path css https://www.sitelocity.com/critical-path-css-generator and I had better results than the one listed.

Watch the video, it will tell you everything.

Thanks again Frank. Was able to change the cache policy and all is now good. I appreciate the advice.

Cheers Frank. Something else to get into…

Thanks for the response Frank. It’s for my own domain. It is basically my home page. All the images, ttf, css & js. I don’t know where it’s picking up the 7 days from. I thought that between W3 & autoptimize, that would allow me to set the cache for the homepage.

Cheers.
