    Hi, I am total noob and is trying to learn how to make my slow website atleast be ok. I have narrowed down that I think I will use WP-optimize as cache plugin together with my server hosts CDN. This handles chaching, image optmization and DB cleanup.

    Would this plugin complement that solution in any good way? Also is it safe for a beginner to use this plugin? And also is there any idea to test the free version or is it only any good in the pro version?

    It has very good reviews which makes me think it works. Just perhaps that all these people is using more fitting websites and/or knows all the important ways it should work.

    Please help a beginner.

    Best regards,
    Flamur

  • I’d like to know the answer to this as well.

    I’m using the WP-Optimize Mimify settings for JS and CSS but would like to see if I can get better PageSpeed Insight LCP results with Asset Cleanup.

    On a side note: are you happy with WP-optimize plugin?

    @flamuren @tableauxadmin lots of people are using both plugins and they do not have problems with them. Based on my testings, the plugins work well together (I have to admit I didn’t test all the possible combinations of all the features from both plugins).

    What’s important is to save resources and the plugins have common features. If, for instance, you enable minify CSS/JS in Asset CleanUp, don’t do the same in WP-Optimize and vice-versa. Plenty of the features in WP-Optimize are not interfering with Asset CleanUp. This includes caching, compressed images and database cleaning.

    My advice would be to check your pages (e.g. the homepage) after you update the settings in Asset CleanUp or WP-Optimize. If you notice any incompatibility, let me know and I will check it out in order to release a fix.

    Also is it safe for a beginner to use this plugin?

    Asset CleanUp can break your website if you apply the wrong rules. For instance, if you unload a CSS that you believe you do not need on your homepage, but you actually need it, then your layout might end up broken. That’s the only downside of the plugin in my opinion. While it could help you boost the website’s page speed significantly, it could also break the functionality if you apply the wrong rules. If you are not 100% sure that a CSS/JS is needed on a page, it’s better to keep it loaded. My advice would be go keep testing pages and use “Test Mode” so your visitors won’t be affected. Once you get used with the plugin, you will find it easier to use on pretty much any website. That’s what people are often mentioning in the reviews.

    @gabelivan Thanks for the detailed feedback regarding use of both plugins. I completely agree on the last part about nubies as I have experienced that myself in the past.

    @gabelivan thank you for the elaborated answer. I will try to find help in setting this up I think, and hopefully someone has done this setup. Many thanks for your work on this plugin ????
