WordPress by default adds query strings “?” or “&” to the static resources (CSS & JS) files used in the site. This plugin will help to remove the query stings from all the static URLs used in the site, thus it will significantly improve site speed scores in services like PageSpeed, YSlow, Pingdoom and GTmetrix.
