 * I have couple of issues with Optimize CSS Delivery and one issue with Remove 
   render-blocking JavaScript when running through Google pagespeed.
 *     ```
       Remove render-blocking Javascript
       https://betterlifeportal.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4
   
       Optimize CSS delivery of the following
       https://betterlifeportal.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_375893c0f4d85fcc6cc620d475772670.css
       https://betterlifeportal.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_2b03c95c327bf557227a9ea72978bfa0.css
       ```
   
 * How to get rid of those?
    I have used Autoptimize and the optimization came from
   64 to 72 and also significant reduction in the number of these issues

 * Hello Suman,
    In some instances you cannot do more than what you have already
   done… Let me explain, remove render-blocking JS means to try and push back the
   loading of JS’s as much as you can to speed up website… Because, in some cases,
   the JS shapes your page, you cannot just simply load it later as your pages will
   negatively impact user experience, the content is loaded and then “placed” is
   not always acceptable nor pretty. In your case, you have jQuery loading … I can’t
   tell what’s your site’s theme using jQuery for but in the event it’s not affecting
   the layout then yes, you can delay loading it…
 * As far as CSS delivery, autoptimize has “done its job” … I believe it’s minified
   and concatenated your CSS. Before autoptimize, that optimize CSS list was longer
   correct? more files and bigger file size.
 * Unfortunately, the “issues” you’re dealing with are only issues if site design
   and speeds are affected and that would be entirely a decision you’ll have to 
   take as to dealing with it.
 * There are other services that you can use to test site speed and not fully rely
   on google’s pagespeed as the definitive. (pingdom and grader give you a good 
   idea of problem areas)
 * HTH

 * well, the “inline & defer”-option can help improve even more, have look at [the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq)
   for more info on that 🙂
