 * Hi guys,
    after the Google Page Speed Site gave me almost 2 seconds of savings
   if I eliminate render-blocking resources, I turned off a couple of CSS and JS
   with the button “Don`t load file”. The dashboard shows a grey color, but whe 
   I run the Google Speed Site again, it still says that the CSS/JS is still there.
   How can that be?
 * Thank you for your help
 * Cheers

 * Hello [@travolve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/travolve/),
 * I went ahead and checked the google page speed insights and I see there a few
   more files which need a bit of work. But before you do that, can you try to clear
   your site cache and also check with your hosting provider if they do have an 
   object cache on their end. If they do have it, kindly ask them to clear it and
   then check. If that does not work too, you can try to inline them or moving them
   to footer too. Here is the screenshot for the same:

 * You may need to try one thing at a time to check what gives you the best output
   while working on the asset optimisation. Please let me know what works for you.

 * Thank you very much Prathamesh,
 * you are absolutely right, I have to press the “empty cash” button in the dashboard
   and not the one in the asset optimisation tab. Thanks for this.
 * Yeah the divi CSS is quite a lump :-). I have no idea how to get rid of this.
   I also found out that I need the jquery JS. Otherwise the mobile menue and the
   divi blog module is not working.
    This means I am nailed to the biggest JS!
 * Any ideas?
 * Thank you very much

 * Hello [@travolve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/travolve/)
 * I hope you’re doing well!
 * I apologize for the delay in this thread. The Divi theme comes with built-in 
   optimization. Please see this documentation page:
    [https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/speeding-up-your-divi-website#speed](https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/speeding-up-your-divi-website#speed)
 * Please enable these options first:
    – Static CSS File Generation. – CSS & JavaScript
   File Minification – CSS & JavaScript File Combination – Google Font Request Optimization
 * After this please re-check Asset Optimization in Hummingbird. Compress and Combine
   the rest of the files. After this move to footer and Defer scripts.
 * Please do not move to the footer position jquery, jquery-migrate and core theme
   js files.
 * All changes please do one file at a time. Save changes and view the front end
   if all is well. If something is broken unselect the last enabled option and continue
   to the next one.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia
