Autoptimize Power-Up sneak peek; Critical CSS

So although I am taking things rather slowly, I am in fact still working on Power-Ups for Autoptimize, focusing on the one most people were asking for; critical CSS. The Critical CSS Power-Up will allow one to add “above the fold”-CSS for specific pages or types of pages.
The first screenshot shows the main screen (as a tab in Autoptimize), listing the pages for which Critical CSS is to be applied:

The second screenshot shows the “edit”-modal (which is almost the same when adding new rules) where you can choose what rule to create (based on URL or on WordPress Conditional Tag), the actual string from the URL or Conditional Tag and a textarea to copy/ paste the critical CSS:
ao_critcss_edit
The next step will be to contact people who already expressed interest in beta-testing Power-Ups, getting feedback from them to improve and hopefully make “Autoptimize Critical Css” available somewhere in Q3 2016 (but no promises, off course).

  4. frank,
    i don´t have credit card for euro operations …
    I can not get your Autoptimize Power-Up sneak peek Critical CSS for a measly 4 euros just because I am in Brazil and you do not provide paypal or other forms of international payment man …
    Could you come up with a solution for that?

    • afraid everything is handled by the criticalcss.com-site, which is not owned or operated by my. that being said, they use stripe and although the payment is in British Pound, I suspect Stripe should allow payment (and currency conversion) from Brazil, no?
