 * I havent installed this plugin but i’m pretty sure it goes half-arsed and simply
   just analyzes your css (in the header) and copy out and paste what it believes
   are the critical areas into <style> tag and that is it. I’ll also bet it doesnt
   even go to the trouble to remove the duplicate css that it just copied — so your
   final download size will increase.
 * Your existing .css files (called via <link>) are likely still there and hence
   why u are getting those render blocking issues still.
 * You would need to use a minification app which hopefully is smart enough to allow
   you to move the css file(s) to the footer. Alternatively, if you aren’t afraid
   of coding it’s pretty easy and you can move all that css yourself.
 * Check your source code on your site and if u see any “.css” above </head> that
   is your problem.

 * My apologies for the late reply.
 * For help with Above the Fold Optimization you should consult an expert. If you
   search in Google for `wordpress pagespeed optimization expert` or `wordpress 
   pagespeed optimization consultant` you should be able to find professionals who
   can help you.

 * The plugin is a professional tool for WordPress PageSpeed optimization. It is
   also simple in nature to not conflict with other optimization plugins.
 * The plugin simply inserts critical path CSS into the header, optionally provides
   some additional optimization and helps to create the critical path CSS via professional
   tools such as Penthouse.JS.
