 * Hello
    I’ve been using the plugin but I’m not sure how to fix an issue still 
   showing up when I do page speed scans.
 * I’ve used the inline & defer options to add the critical css. But after the scoring,
   it tells me I still need to optimize the CSS for
    /wp-content/cache/autoptimize/
   css/autoptimize_b3bc3d193fe8e34059b30e3584191661.css
 * Is there a way to fix this?

 * the reason is that the criticalCSS does not account for the carousel, which causes
   the page to be re-drawn (with content being pushed down) when the carousel loads(
   through JavaScript). add some CSS for your front-page CCSS to make room for the
   slider to avoid the content shifting and GPSI should be happy 🙂
