== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why use a hidden container? =

No, quite the opposite! The hidden container technique prevents render-blocking and layout shifts, actually improving performance metrics.

Auto-updates are already disabled by default in WpSpeedUP for maximum stability. The plugin manages its own update cycle.
