well, maybe you simply don’t need AsyncJS in that case? as you’re already using AO, AsyncJS is only relevent if you do you have render-blocking 3rd party JS, do you have lots of that?

I still have these 4 links on the render-blocking score:
/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js
/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_single_89d0e942b613482ed4a750cffcd7f3fc.css
/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_9c3b71a7489a188a2d7c1d221ccc47e3.css
/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_25e31c7135867f54bc0682ae33ae7a47.css
Thanks
async JS cannot help with the 3 CSS ones (you can try “inline a defer CSS” instead). for jQuery; best solution is to remove js/jquery/jquery.js from AO’s optimization exclusion list and test if that works. if not you can try to add it to AO -> Extra -> async javascript, but that might not work either.
all in all based on the above I see little use for AsyncJS in your context.

This option inline a defer CSS I have tried twice in other websites and it always put my website down, not sure if I got how this work, so I am kinda afraid to try again.
If I remove js/jquery/jquery.js I got this error on Chome
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
at (index):1786
and on firefox doesn’t work properly
Thanks
in that case you can’t fix the jquery render blocking unless you hunt down the plugin that requires jQuery early and reconfigure or remove it. jQuery can be a pain to optimize like that.

PS. I made a little change at minify:
CSS Options > Exclude CSS from Autoptimize > I exclude ‘wp-content/cache/’
And it improves a bit.
do you mean you removed wp-content/cache/ from the exclusion list, or added it (it should be there by default)? if you removed it, do keep an eye on your cache size as that directory typically contains CSS from pagebuilders or themes that are page-specific, so that would require AO to create more optimized CSS files.

Yes. It was there by default and I removed as a test But I included it since it might cause trouble in the future.
Thank you very much
