This small plugin (5 Kb) loads the stylesheets asynchronously and improve page load times.
The recommended use of this plugin is to load your vital stylesheets synchronously and non-vital CSS files asynchronously.
Non-vital CSS-files can be for example: fonts, icons, before the fold template-specific CSS, etc.
You can choose which files to load synchronously with a filter in your function.php, eg.:
// exclude main and child stylesheets from delivery optimization
function exclude_from_delivery_optimization($handle){
return in_array($handle, array('main-stylesheet', 'child-stylesheet'));
}
add_filter('speed-up-optimize-css-delivery', 'exclude_from_delivery_optimization');
Note: this only works if your other plugins and theme add the CSS correctly.
Muito bom.
This plug-in is a blessing
This plug-in is the best!
We have to give a big prize to the person who created this plug-in.
Thank you very much.
Does what it says on the tin, which Google pagespeed likes a lot.
THIS PLUGIN IS THE BEST PLUGIN I’VE EVER SEEN IN WORDPRESS. I had page load speeds around 3 to 5 seconds, but after I installed and activated this plugin, it dropped to 1.5 seconds. I was like “Bruh, is this for real? I have been trying to speed up my page for days, and it took only 1 plugin? Woah.” I appreciate the work.
Works as expected………..
