Ethos.css loading twice and one has unused script in there

[logoglo]

Howdy, check out logoglo.com.

So, I noticed it loads 2 versions of ethos css, is this really necessary?

In one of them, using google console coverage, it shows 90% of it isnt used…anyway you could strip or combine in the next release?

Hi yeah, I already tested, so I activated the normal theme, not child, disactivated all plugins, and did a hard flush of the cache, still appearing twice:

I will leave login details in the secure note.

Hello @logoglo,

The two ethos.css is coming from the legacy style and the stack style.

See the secure note.

You can use the “Combine CSS files” in the File Optimization section of the WP Rocket plugin so that the number of files loaded into your site will be optimized.

Thanks, its actually not a best practice to combine when using http2/3 (which I am) can you explain why there are 2 please? why this is happening, and if its possible to get rid of one?

Hello @logoglo,

The legacy styling is needed to set up the legacy theme views, features, options, et cetera display correctly.
Getting rid of it may result in a broken page especially if you are using classic elements of legacy theme views or features.

Hope this helps.

Gotchya, ok, in this case I think I will combine, thanks for your help

You are most welcome @logoglo.
