Not WordPress friendly 😁
by cvladan·1 year ago·1 reply

I have used this plugin before and found that it introduces many hidden bugs in the code. It often breaks CSS styles, but you only see these problems when comparing staging and production sites.

Other users have the same problems, and it’s hard to spot the little styling errors it creates.

If you’re using modern WordPress (Gutenberg), it’s better to find another minification plugin. I think it works fine for old-school non-Gutenberg sites.

Excellent!

What this plugin does is perfect. HTML minification is impressive and even in an ecommerce with many plugins, there were no problems on the front. Thanks for the excellent work. Please don’t abandon him!

Great plugin with no extra bloat!

Great plugin, simple but have 1 suggestion
by Ricky Poon·2 years ago·1 reply

Very easy to use, clear improvement in load speed regardingless of what google says.

1 suggestion I do have in when inline JS and double slash comments causes the JS to break.

ex:
//arrows: true,
drag: true,

causes this:
//arrows: true,drag: true,

if the plugin could remove the // comments before inlining everything that would be amazing!
