How to defer SiteOrigin CSS to the footer

Hi,

I’ve been trying to erradicate all render blocking JS and CSS on my site and I’ve hit a snag with: /wp-content/plugins/siteorigin-panels/css/front-flex.css

It currently loads in the header and I’ve been trying to get it to load in the footer but I can’t work out what to change in the core files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

The Decanus

    Hi The Decanus,

    We use wp_enqueue_style() to output that file and that script doesn’t, by design, add the ability to move where CSS is loaded. As such, you’ll need to use a plugin to changes its location or output it via an alternative means. With that said, this file really shouldn’t be deferred as it’s crucial to the layout and as a result, there could be major visual issues if it’s deferred.

    Based on your post, it sounds like you’re editing core files to make these changes. Is this the case? If so, I would seriously not recommend this as any and all changes you’re making will be lost on update. Instead, I would recommend using something like Autoptimzie to make this process easier and to minify your assets at the same time.
