No it's not. On the first run, each single file is minified into an intermediate cache. When a new group of files is found, it reuses those files and merges them into a new static cache file. All pages that request the same group of CSS or JS files will also make use of that file.

= Why is Sucuri saying that there is a "potential" backdoor, or malware on the Server Info page ? =
|
| 84 |
+
It’s a false positive, and “potential” doesn’t mean it is. The serverinfo.php page, is what you see when you click on the Server Info tab. That page exists for you to be able to diagnose what your server is running, so it’s basically an information page that fetches technical information from the server and shows it there. Furthermore, the plugins are manually reviewed by the WordPress Team, before going live, precisely to avoid that kind of malware situation.

Each line on the ignore list will try to match a substring against all CSS or JS files, for example `//yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/some-plugin/js/` will ignore all files inside that directory. You can also shorten the URL like `/some-plugin/js/` and then it will match any css or js URL that has `/some-plugin/js/` on the path. Obviously, doing `/js/` would match any files inside any "/js/" directory and in any location, so to avoid unexpected situations please always use the longest, most specific path you can use.

Different pages may need different JS and CSS files per page, post, category, tag, homepage or even custom post types, but if the requirements never change and you always load the exact same files on every page, you will not see as many files. Likewise, if you have some dynamic URL for CSS or JS that always changes in each page view (the query var for example), you must add it to the ignore list (else it will generate a new cache file every page view).

= Is it resource intensive, or will it use too much CPU on my shared hosting plan? =
|
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
+
No, it's not. On the first run, each single file is minified into an intermediate cache. When a new group of files is found, it reuses those files and merges them into a new static cache file. All pages that request the same group of CSS or JS files will also make use of that file.

= Is it compatible with AdSense and other ad networks? =
|
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
+
The plugin is compatible with any add network but also depends on how you are loading the ads into the site. We only merge and minify css and JavaScript files enqueued in the header and footer that match your own domain name... which would exclude any external ads. If you're using a plugin that uses JS to insert the ads on the page, there could be issues. Please report on the support forum if you found such case.

The cache regeneration happens once per URL or if the included CSS + JS files change. If you need the same set of CSS and JS files in every page, the cache file will only be generated once and reused for all other pages, however if you have a CSS or JS that is generated dynamically and uses a time based query string, (url changes on every page view), you must add it to the ignore list by wildcard.

= How do I use the pre-compressed files with gzip_static on Nginx? =
|
| 147 |
|
| 148 |
When we merge and minify the css and js files, we also create a `.gz` file to be used with `gzip_static` on Nginx. You need to enable this feature on your Nginx configuration file if you want to make use of it.

This functionality depends on whether you have exec and java available on your system and PHP can detect it or not. It will be visible on the basic Settings page under the JavaScript Options section and it is available for JS files only.

= After installing, why are some images and sliders not working? =

a) You cannot do double minification, as it will break things, so make sure you have disabled any features on your theme or other plugins, which perform minification of css, html and js files.
|
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
b) Are you trying to use the defer JS or CSS options, without understanding exactly how it works? Be advised that most themes do not work properly with those options on.
|
| 163 |
|
| 164 |
+
c) The plugin relies on PHP Minify to minify JavaScript and css files, however it is not a perfect library and there are plugins that are already minified and do not output a min.js or min.css name and end up being minified again. Try to disable minification on JS and CSS files and purge the cache.
|
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
+
d) Sometimes a plugin conflicts with another when merged. Try to disable CSS processing first and see if it works. Try to disable JS processing second and see if it works. Try to disable HTML minification last and see if it works. If one of those work, you know there is a conflict.
|
| 167 |
|
| 168 |
+
e) If you have a conflict, try to add each CSS and each JS to the ignore list, one by one until you find the one that causes the conflict. If you have no idea of which files to add, check the log file on the status page for a list of files.

= Why are some of the CSS and JS files not being merged? =
|
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
The plugin only processes (same domain) JS and CSS files enqueued using the official method outlined here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/including-css-javascript/
|
| 175 |
|
| 176 |
+
Some developers enqueue all files properly but might still "print" conditional tags directly in the header, while they should be following the example as explained on the codex: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_script_add_data/
|
| 177 |
|
| 178 |
Because "printing CSS and JS tags on the header and footer is evil" (seriously), we cannot capture those files and merge them together.
|
| 179 |
|
| 180 |
+
There are also specific ways to enqueue files meant to be loaded for IE users only, mobile users, desktop users, printers, etc., else those may be merged together and break things. There is a blacklist and default ignore list on the PRO tab because of this.

This is an advanced option for highly skilled developers. Do not try to fiddle with these settings if you are not one, as it will almost certainly break your site layout and functionality.

= How to undo all changes done by the plugin? =
|
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
+
The plugin itself does not do any "changes" to your site and all original files are untouched. It intercepts the enqueued CSS and JS files, processes and hides them, while enqueuing the newly optimized cached version of those files. As with any plugin, simply disable or uninstall the plugin, purge all caches you may have in use (plugins, server, cloudflare, etc.) and the site will go back to what it was before installing it. The plugin does not delete anything from the database or modify any of your files.

= Why is it that even though I have disabled or deleted the plugin, the design is still broken? =

Some "cheap" or so called "optimized" hosting providers, implement a misconfigured and aggressive cache on their servers, and then are "smart" enough to ignore your multiple cache purge requests if those are too frequent.
|
| 201 |
|
| 202 |
+
Some providers use a "deploy system", where you upload / replace / delete the files via sftp, but those are not reflected on the live site immediately. This means that in some cases, you can delete your whole WordPress installation via sftp, and the site still works perfectly fine even after purging the cache.
|
| 203 |
|
| 204 |
You may have deleted the physical files from the disk, but that's either just some random storage they gave you and that they sync to the main server every few hours, or it may be the actual live server but with a file cache layer on top of it (so the old code keeps running even though you have deleted the files).
|
| 205 |
|
| 206 |
+
The only solution is to contact your hosting company and ask them why you have deleted the plugin and purged your cache, but the live site does not reflect the changes.
|
| 207 |
|
| 208 |
Providers well known to have this issue are hostgator and iPage (please report others if you find them).

= Why is my Visual Composer or Page Editor not working? =
|
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
+
Some plugins and themes need to edit the layout and styles on the frontend. When they need to do that, they enqueue several extra js and css files that are caught by this plugin and are merged, when in fact those need to load separately. If you encounter such issue of your page editor not working on the frontend, kindly enable the "Fix Page Editors" and purge your caches.

|

This option hides all optimization from logged in users, so it is as if the plugin has been disabled. Not logged in users and search engines, still see the optimized version.

While this may not work when the images are large, you can use the "Preload Images" for the first relevant images that load above the fold, such as the logo or the first image of a slider. Please note however, this is for images that show up in all pages, not just the homepage.

Do not put too many images here as those are downloaded in high priority and it will slow down the rest of the page load.
