 * Hi there.
 * I am trying to remove render blocking css from my site and have narrowed it down
   to just one thing. I believe this is the combined css file created by W3TC:
 * [http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=srizzil.com](http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=srizzil.com)
 * Is it possible to get this file to stop being an issue for page loading?

 * Not yet possible with this (or any) plugin. Plugins are not yet smart enough 
   to analyze this particular issue and to bring a solution automatically.

 * I am having the same issue. W3 cache puts CSS at the top, not before </head>.
   It also needs to use the HTML “async” for non-blocking loading.
