Figuring out best practices with W3TC

    Hi Frank,

    First of all, thanks for the effort you put into this plugin!

    I’m trying to figure out what would be the best approach to make AO do most of the work and have W3TC only do the parts that AO doesn’t handle well in my situation. I read that when using AO, the minify options in W3TC should be switched off to avoid conflicts, which makes perfect sense, but what if in W3TC we go manual on files we exclude in AO, so we can change the way in which problematic JS gets dealt with?

    >>> ^_^ Feature-Request ^_^ <<<
    For that it would be nice to have an overview of which files AO is optimizing and in which order, a feature that is currently unavailable.

    As it is now, the only way is to look at the before – make a list of all CSS/JS loaded, switch the plugin on, configure it and hope for the best. A little bit more finetune possibilities would be very nice. I don’t mind using W3TC in combination to get things really snappy, but blindfolded… Nah ??

    Cheers!

    might work, might break … hard to say. would the goal be to minify but not aggregate the code excluded from AO? in that case there’s a filter in AO that can do just that B-)

    Well, coincidence; I’m working on a premium plugin (which hooks into AO, so it’s a “power-up”) which will allow you to see a list of enqueued CSS/ JS and see (and change) which ones are optimized and which ones are excluded. and more (maar dat is nog geheim ?? ).

    Along those lines, either minify or aggregate depending on how nasty a script is.

    (maar dat is nog geheim ?? ).

    That’s one of the things I like about the Better WordPress Minify plugin, but that one has some interface – and update – issues.

    geheimpjes moet je inderdaad geheim houden ^_^
