unused javascript/CSS and render-blocking resources

Hi There
I recently went premium with GeneratePress to improve my site's loading speed.
Well, I'm still no luck as clear "Render-blocking resources" and "Unused Javascript and CSS"
My host humbly suggests I seek some guidelines on this from you fellas.
Any form of help will do
Hi there,
I've checked the site you've linked and it doesn't seem to be using any optimization plugin.
For starters, you'll have to install one and start w/ the most simple settings first.
You then tweak your optimization plugin's settings up until you get the best result out of it.
As for plugins specifically, most of our users usually use WP Rocket, Litespeed cache or Autoptimize.
If you plan on using Autoptimize, check this - https://docs.generatepress.com/article/configuring-autoptimize/
As for the other plugins, you can contact their support or try reading through their documentation to learn about their settings. :D
Hey Elvin
Thank you
The site host pointed out an issue with the "LiteSpeed cache" plugin, which I uninstalled - now trying Autoptimize.
Is there anything else I should tweak to help improve the loading speed?
And yeah, I have cleared my cache - thanks :)
Hi there,
i would suggest looking at:
a) Loading Fonts locally:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-local-fonts/
b) deferring the loading of your advert scripts. Theres the Flying scripts plugin that does this.
OR Both of the above can be done with PerfMatters plugin.
Awesome👍
I have installed the plugin and it made a big difference.
Thank you
Glad we could be of help
