Use with external cache plugin

you can use both, no problem; AO caches optimized JS & CSS, GC caches the HTML pages. Regarding cache-cleaning; if I’m not mistaking GC automaticall cleans up if AO’s cache is purged. And you don’t have to do a thing for AO (or GC) when a new post is added, all is handled automatically ??

Thank you for such fast response.

In my case of course, I did not enable js and css optimize because it messes up everything. Any idea on how to avoid that would be great.

Have a look at the FAQ fesarlis, it has information on how you can troubleshoot.

Already read the FAQ, and have played with all sorts of combinations for options. OK, so let me describe the issues.

1. Site will work OK if I put my main CSS in exceptions. In your opinion, is it good practice? I mean, is there a chance that the main CSS can be also minified or the exception is the only solution once it does not minify properly?

2. Tried also to minify JS. I haven’t noticed anything strange in page rendering, except for one ‘post slider’ that exists on homepage. I suppose it is based on jquery, so I just added jquery in exceptions. Playing with various options, I was able to eliminate all js errors, but it still does not work. The error produced is the following:

(index):6 Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(…).innerfade is not a function.

This is with no options enabled (just optimize on). Enabling other options cause more js errors. jquery.js is on exceptions.

not ideal, but better then not optimizing your CSS at all I guess? ??

Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(…).innerfade is not a function.

ah, then you’ll have to try also excluding jquery.innerfade.js (or jquery.innerfade.min.js or maybe even jquery.innerfade-min.js). or try just adding innerfade, that could be a nice catch-all ??

Thank you Frank.

It would be nice if you would add the ability to add the exceptions in a tabular form, instead of comma-separated. This seems necessary since the whole philosophy of autoptimize is based on manual intervention.

In any case, I am happy to inform you that after hours of tweaking I now manage to get a pagespeed score of 91 (of 65-70 before). Thank you for your excellent work and support.

not sure I understand fesarlis, could you explain in some more detail?

great!

Thank you for your excellent work and support.

you’re welcome!

I mean: instead of having a text field to add exceptions separated by commas, to add a box with a text field below, and an ‘Add’ button.

understood, I’ll add it to the list of possible enhancements ??
