How Minification Works:
– Enable CSS and/or JS minification in the core settings
– The plugin automatically processes files to reduce their size
– Minified versions are cached for optimal performance
– Original files remain untouched for safety
– File size reductions of 20-40% are common
Key Benefits:
– Smaller File Sizes: Reduces download time and bandwidth usage
– Faster Page Loading: Smaller files load and execute more quickly
– Improved Performance Scores: Better PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals metrics
– No Visual Changes: Functionality and appearance remain identical
– Smart Caching: Minified files are cached for optimal performance
1. Query String Removal
Removes version parameters (e.g., ?ver=4.6
) from CSS and JavaScript URLs. Some servers and proxy caches cannot cache files with query strings, even with proper cache headers. This optimization can improve caching efficiency significantly.
2. WordPress Emoji Removal
Since WordPress 4.2, emoji support loads additional JavaScript (wp-emoji-release.min.js
) on every page. If you don’t use WordPress emojis, removing this saves 13.5KB and reduces HTTP requests.
3. JavaScript Defer Parsing
Defers the parsing of non-critical JavaScript until it’s actually needed. This reduces the initial page load time by allowing the browser to render the page content first before processing JavaScript files.
4. Advanced Iframe Lazy Loading
Prevents iframes from loading until they’re visible in the viewport. Since iframes often load external resources beyond your control, lazy loading can dramatically improve initial page performance.
5. Modern Image Lazy Loading
Implements efficient image lazy loading using modern techniques to improve Core Web Vitals, particularly Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores.
6. CSS Minification (NEW in v3.2)
Reduces CSS file sizes by automatically removing unnecessary whitespace, comments, and redundant code. Minified CSS files load faster and consume less bandwidth, improving overall page performance.
7. JavaScript Minification (NEW in v3.2)
Optimizes JavaScript files by removing comments, whitespace, and unnecessary characters without changing functionality. Smaller JS files parse and execute faster, leading to improved page speed scores.ques to improve Core Web Vitals, particularly Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores.
