I want to rearrange menue links on my main top menu. When I do, it breaks the site, and makes the title main page say skip to content.
Modifying menu creates Skip to content error on site

Hi, thanks for reaching out.
After making a change at AppearanceMenus and saving, please, try the following.
– If you’re using a caching or performance type plugin, clear it.
– Temporarily deactivate all plugins.
In the above state, does the issue persist?
I did disable all plugins, and cleared all cashing after the error. I did not try disabling the plugins prior to making the change to the menu if that is what you mean?
Thanks. If the issue persists with all plugins deactivated, please, send a link to the site and we’ll take a look.
OK, I’m doing a backup before I try it again.. The site is sp-us.com <http://sp-us.com/>.
Perhaps SiteGround Optimizer is involved? Please, let us know when the menu/site breaks; we’ll take another look.
Sg optimizer is on the site. I can disable that and word fence before doing the change? Or just disable all?
If we could perhaps start out with the issue visible, that’ll be great.
Ok, once the backup finishes ill just make a change to the menu and break it.
OK, I made a slight change to the menu and it is broken now. Please have a look. sp-us.com <http://sp-us.com/>
Thanks. Is there an issue if you view your site in a private browsing window or if you log out of WP?
Yes, in private it looks like this
The SiteGround Optimizer CSS file that should contain all of your site’s combined CSS is empty.
Not sure why… see attached
Your site is referring to the file https://www.sp-us.com/wp-content/uploads/siteground-optimizer-assets/siteground-optimizer-combined-css-64f81ce308b3d279c87bce91979623bf.css but the file no longer exists. The menu change has most likely prompted the optimizer plugin to generate a new CSS file, the page source is still referring to the old file location.
The support forum doesn’t support attachments. Thanks.
If you refresh your page a few times, the issue should be resolved. The issue relates to the optimizer plugin, regeneration of the main CSS file and that file path being cached.
OK, I disabled and re-enabled the CSS option in site ground optimizer. Do you think that is it?
Thank you so much! I was killing so much time on that silly issue.
No worries; glad we could take a look. I think the issue occurs briefly because the old CSS file path is being cached by your browser. Once that local browser cache clears, the new CSS file loads.
perfect. Thanks so much
Glad you’re making progress. Cheers for now.

Actually still showing up. Hang tight
It’s perhaps an issue you can run past SiteGround. They’d be in the best position to advise further. You can also try deactivating CSS aggregation or CSS combination, the setting is labeled differently by various plugin authors.
Thank you will do.
Sounds good.
(The issue isn’t present when I view the site).
