 * Hi,
    I keep seeing the following error message at the top of my WordPress Dashboard:‘
   failed to post via WordPress: Our Critical CSS server is under heavy memory load
   and cannot process your request. Please try again later.’ I can’t try again later
   because the Purge All – Critical CSS option is no longer available under the 
   menu. Its been saying that for the past 24hrs, any ideas what’s happening here?

 * Report No.: IVMBYNFP
 * I recently setup BuddyCDN, so perhaps that may be the cause?

 * Can you try to turn `Load CSS Asynchronously` ON, `Generate Critical CSS In Background`
   OFF, purge a page cache and reload again to see it there any CCSS generated?

 * Load CSS Asynchronously is actually already ON and Generate Critical CSS In Background
   is already OFF?

 * I’ve been told someone should be looking at this today, as you have the same 
   issue it does appear to be a problem with their server.

 * We upgraded the EU CCSS server memory to 16GB. Please try now. We were encountering
   a large volume requests at that moment. Thanks for your report.
