 * WP Engine contacted me because they were noticing 504 errors on my site. Here’s
   what they said:
 * > “After investigating, we were able to track it down to the plugin simple-custom-
   > css. One each and every page load the following request is made:
   > /?sccss=1&ver=4.9.5
   > Or some variation thereof. All of these requests are being processed by Apache,

 * Is there any way to make the plugin cacheable?

 * I ended up disabling Simple Custom CSS until this gets figured out.
 * In the meantime, I moved my custom CSS into my child theme’s style.css file and
   used the second answer in this Stack Overflow thread to enqueue the custom CSS
   to be loaded after WooCommerce and other plugins:

 * I have the same issue with the plugin, this request adds a second to my page 
   load time. Even after disabling the plugin, there is still this request..Did 
   someone have the same issue? How did you completely erase this plugin? (sorry,
   i’m not very experienced and any help and advice is welcome! Thank you!)
