I’ll have to check in with the hosts some day when I come up for air, but at least we’ve ruled things out on your end!

I just went and re-enabled the plugin by using “inline and defer CSS” in auto-optimize. This activates critical css, as you know and the minute I did the following page shifted to a corrupted menu and css. * The odd thing is that nothing else changed except my theme, plugin updates, and woocommerce updates. I didn’t go into autoptimize or critical css and change any of the settings. * After I discovered my pages were corrupt, I emptied all caches – cloudflare, w3tc, and autooptimize, turned off critical css to verify all was well, then turned it back on – and once again, things are back to “unnormal” * Thank you for your help! It is late here so I’ll check back tomorrow.

I discovered that I was bombarding my server with a combination of critical css, warm cache, and clicking on over a 100 pages from multiple tabs which eventually triggered them to put up a firewall for ten minutes at a time! So all is well, and thank you once again for your time. We can close this. * If possible, can you tell me before you do – When it is appropriate to delete rules, purge caches and re-trigger the rules. For example, do I have to do that each time I add a new page, or each time I change css on an old page?

Since my last retriggering of critical CSS, I had installed a warm-cache plugin. Between its requests to the server and the criticalness requests, I was overloading the server. So I disabled warm cache and now things appear to be working. Your plugin is great! I just have a huge site and so retriggering rules on all 2200+ pages is a bit intense! Thank you again for the support!

It is possible that the usual processing with criticalness didn’t run last night. I’m going to let it run and get back to you, so no need for more debug at present. Thanks for your incredible support. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autoptimize criticalcss.com power-up] No new rules](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-new-rules/) * Thread Starter [spirittlk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spirittlk/) * (@spirittlk) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-new-rules/#post-10527750) * Hi Frank, Two rules appeared since we talked. I did recheck on the pages again so that may have triggered it. However I did that last night as well and they weren’t triggered. All are auto. When everything runs I used to have 5 total auto rules. At the moment there are tons of pages in the queue – I have over 1600 blog posts that get requeued it seems every time I delete rules. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autoptimize criticalcss.com power-up] Button style weirdness](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-style-weirdness/) * Thread Starter [spirittlk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spirittlk/) * (@spirittlk) * [7 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-style-weirdness/#post-10503695) * Thank you Frank, perhaps it came with a theme update recently 🙂 Your plugin is really amazing and I appreciate the great support!

That seems to have solved the button problem! Thank you! I did as you said – (1) removed the wp-content/uploads from the exclusion list (2) removed the css rules (3) purged all caches, turned off page cache and reclicked on all pages (3) turned on page cache. Buttons are now working great! * I have only one more theme style anomaly that I’m clueless about. I’ve verified that it is not a problem when the plugin is off. * Pages (excluding the front page) on Safari browser have a 50px padding at the top. This is one example: * [https://www.visionsofheaven.com/newsletter](https://www.visionsofheaven.com/newsletter) * On Chrome they do not have the padding. I went to look at the code and the body declaration has different tags in different browsers. As you can see in Safari there is a padding tag being added among a few other things: * Safari – * Chrome – admin-bar no-customize-support woocommerce-no-js fusion-image-hovers fusion-body ltr no-tablet-sticky-header no-mobile-sticky-header no-mobile-slidingbar mobile-logo-pos-left layout-wide-mode fusion-top-header menu-text-align-center fusion-woo-product-design-clean mobile-menu-design-modern fusion-show-pagination- text fusion-header-layout-v2 avada-responsive avada-footer-fx-none fusion-search- form-classic fusion-avatar-square”> * I don’t know if it has to do with this “Review” request in criticalCSS: R is_page ccss_6496b7c3850c25fe83f1bd207ed44278_R.css * Do you know where I’d begin to look to solve this?

I don’t know which one has the code affecting my page. * I went to delete one and got the messages “This Critical CSS rule will be deleted immediately and cannot be recovered” so I held off for now. By “cannot be recovered” does that mean I’ll not be able to regenerate?
