I tried it with the Divi theme and it actually made the site slower.

A big thank you to Mr. Simone Nigro for this awesome lightweight plugin.
Works very well
by EigenWijsheid·8 years ago
Made the site instantly faster. Too bad it doesn’t also optimize css ‘above the fold’, that would be great.
Excellent Plugin

Does exactly what it is supposed to and nothing more. Very, very lean!
