Hey esteadmc563;
I had a look at the page source and there is no sign of Autoptimize being active at all, so it is likely you have a plugin conflict (introduced about a month ago?) that is stopping AO from working. Best way forwards would be to selectively disable plugins (and briefly switch theme) to find the culprit.
Feel free to follow up on this here, always interested in what causes conficts!
Kind regards,
frank
Hi Frank,
I have all plugins deactivated except Async JavaScript, Autoptimize, Autoptimize CriticalCSS Power-Up, and ShortPixel Image Optimizer. All of these are supposed to work together and were added in the last couple of days, except Autoptimize which worked before.
My theme is Twenty-Seventeen and should also play nice with Autoptimize.
It still doesn’t autoptimize CSS files.
Traffic is very light and the fundamentals are working, so I’ll leave it as is until you can have another look.
Thanks,
Ed
weird …
I see
<script src="//smallkitchenappliancesforyou.com/hashcash.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
at the very bottom of your HTML source, any idea what is inserting that?
No idea.
When I Google “hashcash.js” it appears to be a spam blocker. WA server has a built-in spam blocker that I can’t turn off.
Do you think it might be blocking AO?

The script itself; no, but the way it is added to the HTML makes is plausible this is done using the output buffer (see http://php.net/manual/en/book.outcontrol.php) and that the way this is done could conflict with AO’s use of the output buffer. Can you check with WA (which is your hoster I suppose)?
WA help advised that their built-in SiteSpeed feature adds the hashcash.js file.
It already caches, combines and minifies Javascript and CSS.
I tried turning off their SiteSpeed and using AO alone but got “not found” errors trying to access plugins. I can’t even get to AO to work with it.
The good news is that deactivating AO and turning SiteSpeed on, PageSpeed is happy. My score is 90 and the recommended “Opportunity” is to Defer offscreen images to save 0.9s
With SiteSpeed turned on and AO activated, my PageSpeed scores are in the 60s.
Sorry but I will have to delete AO. I believe it is a great product and your support is amazing.
Thanks for all your help.

wow, that sitespeed feature seems invasive; is breaks your site when turned off and breaks AO when turned on?

Well, that’s not bad 🙂

You’re welcome, feel free to leave a review of the plugin and support here! 🙂
