GTMetrix Eliminate render-blocking resources Error with Litespeed Cache

GTMetrix shows this error message:

So then turn on Load CSS Asynchronously from LiteSpeed Cache > Page Optimization > CSS Settings

More here

This actually creates more problems because when turned on it slows down this blog when using the Scalia theme:

When “Load CSS Asynchronously” is turned off the page is rated a B instead of a C. (This is the case with Voxco theme with Litespeed Cache without Cloudflare, with Cloudflare this combination the rating seems to stay the same. With the Scalia theme without Cloudflare similar negative effect of altering Litespeed in this way but ustilizing Cloudflare as well it goes from a B to an A). Cloudflare itself has no influence except for minification. See here

LCP and FCP are so important in load times. This CSS optimization in Litespeed Cache will super boost your page speed. I just checked and here was the results:
Performance
100%
Structure
97%

Thanks. Glad this setting works well for you. Tested again and still quicker with it off. Please see above.
