I believe I have tried the usual solutions to getting my File Compression for CSS file merging to work. But when I enable CSS file merging and compression, it ignores my Child Theme style sheets. When I disable it, it works again. My Caching app is WP Super Cache.
I have tried enabling (then disabling) “Delete old CSS and JS files” at the bottom of performance, but no change.
This issue I’ve seen with at least one other of my (Enfold) client websites. So, I’d like to find a solution that I can apply to my other sites as well.
I have created User credentials for you in Private to look into my Dashboard settings.
Thank you very much,
RichardHey laptophobo,
You can use only the caching plugin’s merging and caching, not the one from the theme and the issue should be resolved.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria. Thanks for the advice. I went into the WP Super Cache plugin settings (which is recommended by Enfold) and could not locate an option to “eliminate render blocking resources”. I Googled how to do this, but could not find a solution within this plugin. (I did see recommendations for WP Rocket.) But before changing cache plugins, I thought I would check with your team first.
Hi laptophobo,
It looks like the Wp Rokcet has more options for what you need, so you might want to switch to it. Here are some more plugins for you to consider too:

VictoriaHi again.
I tried WP Rocket, but no discernable difference between it and Comet Cache or WP Super Cache.Of the 7 Enfold sites that I manage, 2 have B scores (via GTMextrix), and the rest have D or E. Not long ago, all my sites had B or A. So, I do need to resolve this.
Is there someone who could look over the settings to see if we can get one of the sites up to at least a B level? (From there, I can follow the lead and apply to my other Enfold sites.) If that is not possible, is there someone out there you can recommend?
I’ve been using Enfold almost exclusively for about 10 years now. Only recently has the page speed been such an issue.
Thanks for your time and ideas.
Hi laptophobo,

VictoriaHi again. Unfortunately, those solutions are outdated. I’ve tried several of the plugins and they either don’t change much, or break the site. One big item is that whenever I try to merge the CSS files in Performance option, it stops the child css files from working. I found this to be a constant no matter which eliminate rendering-blocking resource plugin that I use.
I’m wondering if I should simply install a fresh Enfold theme. If I did that, could I import my current custom templates into the fresh Enfold.
I really need to resolve this problem somehow. I have 7 Enflod websites and only 2 of them are generating good-enough scores.
This is to follow-up on optimizing my page speed results.
After hiring someone at Codeable to fix the issue with eliminating render-blocking resources, we found that by replacing the current caching plugins (Comet Cache) and WP Performance Score Booster with WP Fastest Cache, it made a very big difference. I have done this with three of my Enfold sites now. I have gone from GTMetrix “E” score to “B” on my site. And on the other 2 sites, from “D” and “C” to “A” scores.
For my site it was more complicated so I had to use the Premium version of the WP Fastest Cache plugin. But the standard, free, version did fine for the others.I am wondering why Enfold has not made this caching plugin a priority. If there is some known issue with it with regards to Enfold, I’d like to know about it. Otherwise, this was a great help.
Hi,
Thanks for the update, and sorry for the very late reply.
I’m glad that you found a caching solution which works for your site. We can’t really recommend any individual plugins, since they usually work differently on each site. Speed optimisation is usually trial and error, like in your case.
Best regards,
Rikard
