Ok, so like every website admin. I want my website to be running as fast and cleanly as possible. So I’ve run a Google page speed test and I’m getting this warning message (subject line). When I look at the scripts and css causing the problem, a some are coming from X theme scripts/css and others from RevSlider, which came with your theme. Obviously I realise the rest are not your issue. Is there any way we can render those CSS & JS without render blocking? This is the page I am testing
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
You can check this https://theme.co/x/member/kb/performance/
With the plugin mentioned there, it has minification feature where you can set your css and javascript blocking. Apply the settings that suits best for your requirement.
You should check the caching plugin’s documentation.
Cheers.
This is one thing I searched high and low for to find the right answer, I fixed the issue with my site using the W3total cache plugin – If you click on the Minify section from the performance menu you will see an option at the top of the minify section that says ‘help’ click this and you will be able to eliminate all the above the fold content by simply selecting where to load it. On top of that set the minify mode to ‘manual’ and also select ‘non blocking using async’
Clear all your cache and check you haven’t broken your site, I had to play around with these settings a bit but in doing so I got a
Page Speed Grade:(98%) and YSlow Grade:(98%) using http://gtmetrix.com/
Hope this info can help you.
Great to see our community members helping each other 🙂
Hey Guys
Godaddy has blacklisted W3total 🙁 Gutted! I have also moved to the managed hosting which has its own caching.
Presently using cloudflare and CDN Linker to link to MaxCDN. Getting A 92% for speed and yslow so all together too bad!
My Load time on https is 4.9 ish and 6.9 ish for http… Seems there just some minification I need to apply to JavaScript and
CSS. I have used the minifier on cloudflare to reduce the CSS and HTML but if I try to minify the javascript it errrr go’s a
little crazy! Kept this option off obviously, Was wondering if there is an alternative I can use without losing the effects
on the site?
Considering going for the PRO cloudflare plan too as its relatively inexpensive and has railgun, mirage and polish to improve
image load times… any advice guys?
Many thanks

Hi there,
Two possible reason, first, minification holds older version of files than your current one. Second, minified files are never generated. Though, I can’t confirm that as I don’t have any access to any of that setup.
Would you mind sharing your url?
Thanks.
Sorry for late reply, got tied up with other issues :/
Many thanks

This reply has been marked as private.Hi there,
These are part of site’s optimization which should be covered by your optimization plugin. Unfortunately, we don’t have control of how they handle it. WordPress is modular, hence, themes and plugins may load the different resources, may contain different standard and libraries, and probably from different authors. Hence, there is no default option to optimize this without an optimization plugin.
You should check your optimization plugin’s documentation or author on how they could help you with this optimization. The minification process should fix your issue above, as it will combine all javascript into one file and CSS into one file to improve performance and eliminate render blocking.
BUT, don’t do any of this yet. As I can see from your other thread, you’re still on development stage. Any optimization is only recommended if you’re done with development. Caching, minification, or CDN has delay effect to the changes you’re creating and they add more issues during development.
Thanks.

The problem with Godaddy is blocking other plugins, hence, your only option is to use their recommended plugin https://garage.godaddy.com/webpro/wordpress/time-wordpress-tuneup/
With this limitation, I’m not really sure how I can help.
Thanks.
