 * Hi
 * Fist of all, I just want to make sure if free Elementor needs a child theme for
   theme update. I don’t think so since I don’t have access to the custom css but
   jsut want to check before it’s too late.
 * Also, I’m trying to improve speed optimization with the online tool below,
 * [https://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/](https://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/)
 * I need to input css for critical path in the box but where can I grab the necessary
   css for the tool?
 * The method improved my previous website but I’m not sure if it’s necessary for
   my current site with Elementor. If you think it’s not please advise.

 * Please do not use shortlinks in these forums again, it has been abused in the
   past and those links are expanded when found. I have expanded yours.

 * Sorry about that, I didn’t know about it and won’t use it from now on.
 * As to the critical path generator, I found other tools and tried the followings,
