Need Help / Advise 1 – Minify CSS & JS – Tried many options

Dear Creators,

I have tried many options in last 2-3 days for improving Google Pagespeed scores – main area is Minify CSS and JS and Caching. I signed-up CloudFlare free / basic plan – but i dont think it is working.

***** Part 1: Minify CSS and JS
I tried following plugins and for last 2-3 days, it is not very much succesful and most of them give FOUC on the site.

Plugins Tested:
1. Autoptimize (If enable HTML then FOUC within seconds, and cannot select any advanced options because FOUC)
I tried to select options to push CSS inline and load into the head – using the advanced options, but homepage breaks.

2. WP Roids (some issue with .htaccess – maybe because of my hosting, but give FOUC) – I have contacted the plugin author already and there is another guy which has Newspaper 7 theme having issue with this plugin.

3. WP Super Minify (i dont know if this did anything – cannot see any changes)

4. Best WordPress Minify – using since today afternoon – Not FOUC yet

Note: Cloudflare Minify option is activated all the time.

Can you please advise which plugin to use – which will not break the CSS and render pages properly. I removed Revolution Slider for now also to improve speed.

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no minification tool we can guarantee will work .In order to improve your page speed please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
As a note on the speedbooster plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/

If you want to use a cdn server please only use these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
For cache we recommend: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/

Thank you!

Hi Bogdan,

I am going through the process step in the guide, i have some limited knowledge in coding but i will try.

I am checking the compatible plugins also, I have some issues with the cache plugin (not allowed), so I am trying to find some answers. Thanks for sharing, this link is useful – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2.

I am trying to settle with Cache Enabler + Optimus (webP support) for the Cache and Images.

Cloudflare is setup as recommended in the tutorials 🙂

Multumesc, Ciao.
