    Hello,
    I’m trying to fix “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content” in Google page speed test, using W3TC but It seems like wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/pub/minify.php?file=cdfc2/default.include-body.1d7ca6.js and /wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/pub/minify.php?file=cdfc2/default.include.68461b.css won’t eliminate.
    so is it normal and these can’t be eliminated? or is there anyway to get rid of these too?

    Thanks

    There was an extensive article that showed that SERP was not affected at all in terms of render-blocking issues. I was trying to search my history for this article but it was an article that did tests on stripping render blocking and keeping in place.

    Anyway, have you tried “async” or “defer” for the script or just told w3tc to the footer? The css will require the special w3tc css directive so it knows to place it in the footer.

    Even if it don’t play any roll in deteremining SERP it’d still be nice to have a clean sweep in Google PageSpeed insights 🙂
    I’ve only selected “asyncsrc” option in JS minify settings and it’s set to “Before </head>, combine only”.

    The css will require the special w3tc css directive so it knows to place it in the footer.

    a bit more insight about it would be nice.

    Thanks a lot!

    kaif0346,

    You can use Autoptimize. Have a look at the inline and defer option.
