Critical CSS vs Inline and Defer

[ad_1]

Hello. First of all: thank you again for this great plugin.

I’m struggling with some I would say “logical” aspects of the Critical CSS and Inline and Defer options.

First question: If I set manual rules in the Critical CSS tab, what’s the fate of the css inserted in the “Eliminate render-blocking CSS?” setting?

Second question: What’s the function of the “Edit Default Rule CSS” option in the Critical CSS tab? By logic I would assume it’s a CSS that should be considered critical on the whole website (and in this case…again as in the first question…what about the “Eliminate render-blocking CSS?” setting?). But every time I try to change it and save…nothing change. If I open that option again I find the CSS code I had before the changes.

Third question: I have a CPT named “Podcast” whose permalink is mywebsite.com/podcast/name-of-the-podcast. I’ve set a rule for all the podcast posts. And I’ve set a rule for the specific page mywebsite.com/podcast/ which is the archive for the podcasts. This rule for the archive is overriding the one for the podcast itsel, thus resulting that the critical css recalled for a single podcast is actually the archive one. How can I get out of this impasse? I thought that an exact URL match would be enough.

Thank you.
