Title: WP Rocket | Simple LoadCSS Preloader Author: ensemblebd Published: October 29, 2018 Last modified: Avrigl 1, 2023 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=1965162) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1965162) # WP Rocket | Simple LoadCSS Preloader By [ensemblebd](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ensemblebd/) [Telechargiada](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss.zip) * [Details](https://roh.wordpress.org/plugins/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/#description) * [Reviews](https://roh.wordpress.org/plugins/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/#reviews) * [Development](https://roh.wordpress.org/plugins/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/enhance-wp-rocket-loadcss/) ## Descripziun ### Deprecated This plugin is deprecated and will be removed in the future. It was coded back in 2019 when WpRocket did not have asynchronous support for CSS. Although this plugin operates at a lower level (main php buffer), which helps apply loadsCSS to ALL styles regardless of whether they conform to wp_enqueue or not, **we recommend** instead using WpRocket’s system: [Load CSS Asynchronously](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1266-load-css-asynchronously). ### Description Simple high performance plugin to enhance WP Rocket’s css output to use the loadCSS preload polyfill. This will ensure **any css** being loaded via the page output** is deferred**, and utilizing a preload [rel] attribute. Note: This will not affect admin pages. It’s designed only to process front-end pages. It is recommended to enable the WP Rocket setting for „Optimize CSS“, which will provide your pages with inline Critical-CSS. That way an unstyled flash is not seen on page load (if properly configured of course). **This plugin will boost your [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) and [PageSpeed Insight](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) scores.** ### Plugin Mission We hope that [WP Rocket](https://wp-rocket.me/) will implement this as a **feature** of their plugin. The existing [Load CSS Asynchronously](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1266-load-css-asynchronously) only works for supported wp_enqueue styles, which not all plugins/themes properly utilize. For normal users, we recommend using WP Rocket’s system instead of this plugin. ### Requirements: * If you intend for logged-in users to see the effect, you must enable WP-Rocket’s setting called „caching for Logged-In Users“ * Alternatively, you can run the plugin without WP-Rocket, despite it’s intended purpose. (>^.^)> ### Features: * [FilamentGroup’s LoadCSS(v2.0.1)](https://github.com/filamentgroup/loadCSS/tree/v2.0.1) inline injector (optional – see settings page next to WP Rocket), _triggered via wp\_head_ * High performance Regular Expression approach to process WP Rocket’s (php’s) output buffer, to replace stylesheets with the appropriate loadCSS syntax * Option to enable the buffer processor when you don’t have WP Rocket installed. ** This will respect AMP pages, and Yoast Sitemap output (by not executing). No other considerations have been implemented. No fluff. Just a robust loadCSS implementation. You can see how it works, & measure the performance, with this(via repl.it): [Run the Plugin’s code](https://repl.it/@ensemblebd/WPRocketLoadCSSMeasurement) Just paste your own page’s url or html into the appropriate variable @ the top. And you can test this plugin’s regex as well: [WordPress.com html – links filtered by regex](https://regex101.com/r/xsugT7/1/) Github link is here: [Click](https://github.com/ensemblebd/wp-rocket-loadcss) ### Last tested with: * WP Rocket 3.13.x * WordPress 6.2.x ### Dependencies * WP Rocket (optional via settings) * file_get_contents() php function (if included loadCSS lib is used via options— default = yes) ## Maletgs dal visur * [[ * Settings Page * [[ * Resultant HTML * [[ * Sample Measurement * [[ * Sample Regex ## FAQ * Where are the settings? Right next to WP Rocket underneath the standard WordPress Admin -> Settings * Can I use this without WP Rocket? Yes, just make sure and check the box to do so under settings. * What ignore conditions are supported at this time? Yoast XML sitemap, and AMP pages. By default all Admin pages are ignored. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0f69d380160ebbc447cfe435998d3ae6673867a93b37e0dd64db1e64e26a7c95? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Charged me an annual fee for a plug in I never had](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/charged-me-an-annual-fee-for-a-plug-in-i-never-had/)󠁿 [justsaying](https://profiles.wordpress.org/prisonsorguk/) Fanadur 17, 2023 BE CAREFUL.
