Autoptimize - what about the "Misc Options" (Tab 1) ?
Firstly, yes, I saw your excellent Autoptimize page! I found it very helpful!
Only one question: what about the Misc Options on tab 1? Leave all unchecked?
And does Appearance>Customize>General works with it? My settings are "External File" "Combine CSS" + "Cache dynamic CSS"
Website is Wordops + FastCGI + Redis + WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache
Hi there,
the Miscellaneous options are something that is very specific to your site and user options.
On some sites i have all of them enabled...
The first two:
Save aggregated script/css as static files?
Minify excluded CSS and JS files?
You should check carefully as they can lead to breakages.
Likewise the third option:
Enable 404 fallbacks?
Should only be used if you're experiencing page caching issues.
But the 4th option i generally have enabled so autoptimize doesn't get in my way when working on the site.
And:
And does Appearance>Customize>General works with it? My settings are “External File” “Combine CSS” + “Cache dynamic CSS”
Yes - in addition to combining the CSS it also removes some CSS that is not required in a newly built site.
Thanks for the reply! Well noted!
I suggest you add it here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/configuring-autoptimize/
And maybe a bit of detail how one would check for any breakages and what to look for.
You're welcome
