Avoiding CSS import in terms of speed

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The following external stylesheets were included in .../wp-content/cache/min/1/9f758f96fdb5c4c83c9909230aa32fea.css using @import.

.../wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/onthego-resources/onthego-styles/onthego-admin-styles.css
.../wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/onthego-resources/onthego-styles/onthego-buttons.css
.../wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/onthego-resources/onthego-styles/onthego-colors.css
.../wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/onthego-resources/onthego-styles/onthego-styles-helper.css
.../wp-content/plugins/types/vendor/toolset/onthego-resources/onthegosystems-icons/css/onthegosystems-icons.css

The users didn't want these styles to be loaded.

Solution:

Please add this code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file to dequeue (remove) it on the frontend:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
  wp_dequeue_style('toolset-notifications');
  wp_dequeue_style('onthego-buttons');
  wp_dequeue_style('onthegosystems-icons');
  wp_dequeue_style('onthego-colors');
  wp_dequeue_style('onthego-styles-helper');
  wp_dequeue_style('onthego-admin-styles');
   
}, 20);

Hello,

we just noticed on GTmetrix this: hidden link

The following external stylesheets were included in .../wp-content/cache/min/1/9f758f96fdb5c4c83c9909230aa32fea.css using @import.

Can you explain this to us and how to avoid this? Any tips?

I also wonder why they are loading on the fronpage ...

Thanks for helping,
am.

Hi Amarinos,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to avoid this since this is something that is internal to our plugins.

What I can recommend that you try is to install the WP Super Cache plugin and see if the CSS can be cached.

Thanks,
Shane

Internal to types & views?

But I do not understand why css is loaded at the front page?
We use plugin features on a sub-page , to load it here would be okay ... hmh?

We do not use WP Super Cache , we use WP Rocket and normally all other CSS is cached.

What about this here (found it by luck and google):
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/optimize-front-end-css/

If we use this code to dequeue it on the frontend can you confirm that the functionality of the plugin is not limited?

Best,
am.

Hi Amarinos,

I suspect that this will just cause some of the icons we use on the backend on our plugins to not show up.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane,

So save to use? Or not? It would be nice if you can assist here more ...
One side note: Can you pls check our website (thedolphinsvoice.org)? you'll see 3 jQuery errors related to Toolset ... Can you help to avoid or fix them too?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Amarinos,

It should be safe, just that you will not be seeing some of the usual icons being displayed as normal.

Thanks,

Hi Amarinos,

Yes I saw these errors but it may be due to plugin conflicts our outdated versions of our plugins.

The only way to check this is by disabling all the non-toolset plugins and checking again or updating the plugins.

Please try this and let me know the results.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Amarinos,

I must apologize as i wasn't aware of the plugins on your site since the debug information wasn't provided.

I see that you are using the beta plugins on a live site, which is not recommended as issues will arise since its meant for customers testing and trying out new features. Sometimes these features or functionality don't work 100% but it's strictly for testing purposes.

Could you install the latest stable version of our plugins as from what I see could be from the beta plugins. An alternate option is that you can provide me with duplicator package from your website and I perform these tests for you.

To provide me with a duplicator package, please have a look at the link below.

Hello,

yes, you are right about betas ... but as far as I remember the jQuery things are also present in or with the latest stable versions ... anyway, I deleted now the betas and reinstalled the stable ones ... and as I write this I also test the behaviour ...

What can I say: Same same as I expected ... 🙁
Okay so you see this jQery errors are only related to Toolset or do you see that they are shown because of a combination like ***Theme + Toolset + Plugins*** ???

Can you open up a private option here so I can point you to the staging page , here you can see the errors now too ...

Best wishes & many thanks in advance for helping,
am.

Hi Amarinos,

Hi Amarinos,

So I took the duplicator plugin and created the duplicator package but when i restored the backup i'm not getting any errors in the console at all. See Screenshot

Could you provide the debug information on this site so that I can take a look at it ?

Hello Shane,

okay, you see this on Chrome and here you do not get any error outputs? This is really strange.

Maybe hosting related?
Are you on the front end visiting the page?
All plugins enabled?

What I see: hidden link

Best,
am.

Hi Amarinos,

Yes this is with all plugins enabled. All I did is to import the site and view it.

So I suspect that the issue as you say is hosting related .

Thanks,
Shane
