    Hi Emre,
    As you already know, WP Fastest Cache will not work on Elementor latest version(s). Setting the CSS Print Method option to Internal Embedding and disabling Elementor’s Element Caching is not a good solution.

    1. Internal embedding dumps all the CSS into the web page. This defeats the entire purpose of caching and combining CSS files. It makes no sense to add more bloat to the web page (albeit CSS is just text). Nobody deliberately embeds CSS into web pages unless necessary. Small snippets of CSS for plugins etc., sure, but not entire CSS files.

    2. Elementor’s Element Caching significantly improves performance. Disabling it and swapping WP Fastest Cache does not improve performance.

    I’m not an expert in the code for this kind of plugin. But it seems to me you have it backwards… you should be checking if Elementor Element Caching is enabled, then automatically disabling the caching on your end. And same applies to the CSS as well. Disabling Elementor performance settings and dumping CSS into the web pages, I don’t think is a good solution. It’s more of a band aid.

    I’d go to another plugin, but none of them load pages as quickly as WP Fastest Cache.

    You used the phrase “I don’t think.” Is this a feeling, or did you reach this conclusion by testing performance?

    Yes we did benchmark and viewed the cache time in the page source code as well. Tried a few iterations with and without etc. Sorry, but yes, your workaround is slower.

    But I’m not going to debate it. we’ll just have to look for a different caching solution and go premium with that.
