Themosis Critical CSS
=====================

[](#themosis-critical-css)

A WordPress plugin for Themosis that implements [kalfheim/critical-css](https://github.com/kalfheim/critical-css) to generate critical CSS in WordPress. You'll need to have wp-cli setup to run it, and it'll also need to be present in production to new/changed posts. Also relies on `keltiecochrane/themosis-illuminate` implementation of config and files, and uses `keltiecochrane/themosis-logger` for logging.

It will generate CSS for mobile, tablet and desktop devices, which will be served as appropriate by browser sniffing. It will automatically modify style tags to set them to `rel="preload"` and uses loadCSS to polyfill browsers that don't support preloading.

This plugin will set a cookie to determine users that have/haven't been served the CSS previously (to avoid inflated page loads for users that have a cached copy of your CSS.) You may need to add a notice or override this functionality as is appropriate to local laws regarding cookies.
