FvRE v2 — CSS Gap Audit

Tested the top 25 CSS files referenced in the rendered HTML. Files that return 404 are missing plugins (referenced CSS exists, but the plugin providing it isn't installed).

Results

21/25 OK, 4/25 FAIL (404)

What's missing

4 plugins have CSS referenced in the HTML but the plugin isn't installed:

1. essential-addons-elementor (PRO) — only the lite version is installed
2. templately — not installed (we thought it was!)
3. premium-addons-pro — not installed (we have premium-addons-for-elementor but not the Pro)
4. likebtn-like-button-rating — not installed (was the source of the "update failed" nag)

Note: page builders often reference CSS for widgets the page doesn't actually use. So 404 on a CSS file doesn't necessarily mean the page looks broken — but it does mean the plugin is missing from disk.

Implications

• Elementor Pro has more CSS than is actually loaded. Pages that don't use specific Pro widgets won't 404 even though the CSS is referenced (browser just doesn't fetch it).
• The "Like Button Rating" plugin's "update failed" message is from a config that thinks the plugin should be installed. It's not. Safe to dismiss.
• Templately's CSS is referenced but Templately isn't installed — that's because Elementor Pro's remote info cache stored a reference to a Templately template that was once imported. The page is fine without it.
