Google PageSpeed Issues

Thanks for this feedback, Linda.

The “compress assets” recommendation is something that could be done by yourself or in a future version of the plugin, but to be honest the 19kB it would save is unlikely to make a noticeable difference to load speed on desktop or mobile.

The “eliminate render blocking JavaScript” recommendation could be solved by moving JS to the foot of the page (with a plugin such as https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/scripts-to-footerphp/ ), but again this is unlikely to make a huge difference.

Personally I would not let any of these recommendations dissuade me from using the plugin. General site metrics such as bounce rate, traffic, and conversion are generally more important than shaving 19kB off a site, and most sites owners will have more to gain by spending time on other factors (image size, content, marketing).

I completely understand what you are saying.

On the other hand, I think it is critical because we are using the plug-in in the header of the site.

It would be wonderful if the “compress assets” could be taken care of in a future version of the plug-in.

Thank you for the scripts-to-footer recommendation!
