Like a Ferrari

A bit tricky to tune it up and get it running perfectly, but one you do, it can speed up your site more than any other minifying/optimizing plugin than I’ve ever seen before.

The tricky balance is figuring out which JS and CSS you can get rid of or delay without negatively impacting the operation of the site. In some cases you need to get really familiar with your web browser’s developer tools so that you can see which scripts need to run.

I also appreciate that this plugin doesn’t try to do too much. Some of the optimization plugins go way overboard with features and then seem to do none of them particularly well while simultaneously spamming your WordPress dashboard with “Upgrade to Pro” messages. This one doesn’t do that at all.
