This plugin extends Autoptimize to automatically create critical CSS rules. These rules inject the correct critical CSS in different types of pages to ensure these pages are rendered even before the full CSS is loaded, improving the “start to render time” and user experience. For this purpose the plugin integrates with criticalcss.com, a 3rd party service, to have it generate the critical CSS (see FAQ for info on pricing).
Simply install and activate the plugin (you will need to have Autoptimize up and running), enter your https://criticalcss.com API key and the plugin will automatically start work to create rules.
If you want to change settings or review the rules, you can find these by clicking the “critical css” tab on the Autoptimize plugin settings screen. There are “installation instructions” and more info in the FAQ.
