Latest version doesn’t unify css and js (version 2.8.9 does)

    Since plugin update from 2.8.9 to latest versions, js and css files are not unified to single js and css files.

    For example, in 2.8.9 version there are only 2 js files in developer tools:

    header…min.js
    footer…min.js

    and one css file:

    header…min.css

    And only 45 requests are sent to server (as can be seen in Developer tools)

    After updating to 3.2.2 version (and versions before):

    there are 9 css files and 2 js files generated by the plugin and 73 js files downloaded from the server (jquery, custom js, theme js)

    It seems that js files were not unified. (i checked that Combine JS Files is on in plugin’s settings.

    Increased number of requests sent to server significantly increases website loading speed. (from 3.* seconds to to 4.* seconds when browser cache is disabled)

    Wordpress version is 5.0.3

    If you have 9 css files, it depends on the url.
    Are all of those urls on the same wordpress domain, or are they external?

    Are they minified, under the fvm cache directory?
    If yes, then you haven’t enabled CSS combine.

    You checked Combine JS Files, so you have 2 files.
    One for render blocking scripts, other for deferred scripts.
    You need to know, that these are different things, you cannot defer all files or it will break some scripts. You can force it, but it’s your choice on the settings.

    Do note, if your server supports HTTP2 it’s no longer recommended merging scripts or styles. That’s why, they are not merged by default now.
