Feature Request: forceExclude Selectors and URLS

[fluxism]

I have an events calendar plugin. wp-criticalcss is crawling infinitely forward and backwards on the calendar. Can we use a regex or filter to prevent this?

Also a forceExclude option similar to forceInclude is needed. I use Cloudflare Workers to cache and inline google fonts and t his plugin is duplicating the inline css which is quite heavy.

Thanks for letting me know. Also a forceExclude option similar to forceInclude is needed This is simply passed through to the API, so there would need to be API support for this.

@pocketjoso would need to chime in regarding this.

For the crawling issue, can you give an example URL of a calender and urls it is hitting?

Thanks :)

Hi,
There's currently no way to filter out At-rules such as @font-face.
The forceInclude option only filters out CSS selectors, and At-rules are not CSS selectors so they are not handled - the same would apply if we added API support for forceExclude.

I don't have any short term solution for this, but we might add support to filter out At-rules in the future.
From what I can see your font-face rules contribute 2kb to your critical css size - excluding any GZIP which would further reduce this size. As annoying as it is to have this duplication, perhaps it can be acceptable to keep until there's a way to handle it?
