 * Hi guys,
 * I’ve been working hard the last couple of days on optimizing my website. Got 
   GTMetrix to 98 and 97 percent.
 * Google Page Speed has a big issue with 2 JS and 1 CSS that are render-blocking.
   I’ve installed a plugin that does things to stop this but for some reason these
   three are getting through. They appear to be minified CSS and JS files as they
   have big long string value names. So perhaps the plugin is moving the actual 
   JS and CSS files, then the minify plugin is creating files afterwards?
 * If that’s the case, what can I do? Is it a good idea to install plugin to change
   the load order, and have the minify plugin do its work prior to the optimization
   plugin?
 * Thanks!

 * Hey Andrew, I already have a plugin to do that plus more.
 * I actually just found the answer. I had W3 Total Cache plus Better WordPress 
   Minify. They must have been clashing in the background because when I removed
   BWM my requests dropped and I’ve now only got 1 file in the above-the-fold, probably
   the minified file from W3.
 * Thanks!
