I am working on a site that uses Wordpress + Elementor, and when I run page speed audits, I get a mountain of default files that are blocking load!<br> </p> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>.../block-library/style.min.css... .../hello-elementor/theme.min.css... .../hello-elementor/style.min.css... ...css/elementor-icons.min.css... ...animations/elementor-animations.min.css... </code></pre></div> <p>How can I get rid of this mountain of blocking code? Optimization plugins that promise to defer/inline don't seem to actually do anything and I can't get my speed up. </p> <p>Any suggestions?</p>
