I’ve test extensively with Twenty Fourteen and have never seen problems with that approach.
First, thanks for your plug in.
Two things. One of the people who gave it a 5 star said that it automatically solves all js and css problems. this issue has persisted;
Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

http://growtallerwithshinlengthening.com/…ize_fa4579dffe357511db4f80df4c2d88fc.css
Secondly, my social icons are jumbled after activating the plug in. non is visible. Any advise ?
the faq has information on both “blocking css” (hint; inline css might help) and “troubleshooting” (hint; exclude the social icons plugin js) Dennis.
hope this helps,

Bij de Javascript optie:
is het daar mogelijk om ze alle 4 aan te vinken? optie 2 en 3 lijken mekaar tegen te spreken. Maar anders breekt de site.. Ik hoor heel graag of ik hier zo mee verder kan gaan, wil echt graag dit gebruiken. Werkt super enorme verbetering.
je kunt ze alle 4 aankruisen jetgwd.
Okay, thanks for reply.
when i un check optimize css the social icons work perfect but my page speed falls slightly. how do you think i can eliminate the css for social icons. leaving the rest of css optimized.
Thanks for your generous help.
what plugin do you use for the social buttons Dennis?
I use Simple social icons.
In that case I’d try excluding “simple-social-icons/css/style.css” (or just “simple-social-icons”) from CSS optimization?
Is there a code for that ? i mean how do i do that ? i’m completely a novice when it comes to coddling.
No coding, configuration in the AO adming page Dennis. You can find more info in the FAQ.
Hi!
Could you please help me urgently? I downloaded Autoptimize and enabled the plugin to generate uri for images. The problem now is that my page cant load any images and I cant navigate anywhere. Can you please help me? What is wrong and how do I go back to how it was?
You could;
Hope this helps,
frank
Hello and thanks for the plugin. I am using autooptimize and it speeded up my site about 5 points. I had to uncheck the optimize java script button. It removed everything from content area and my titile and sub title. I am using it on a few different themes and sites and seems to be workiing on all. Always looking to speed up my sites!
Thank you,
You probably use an infinite-scroll-type of plugin or something else that includes javascript to load your posts, excluding that javascript-file from being optimized (and probably jquery and/or ‘force js in head’) should allow you to run with optimized JS as well.

Hello Frank !!
Just Transferred my Blog To Blogger : I’M FROSTY
That AutOptimize Plugin Was Working Well For me But was Problem with Web Hosting Provides..
May Be I Plan To Setup Blog using WordPress in Future. I’ll surely used this plugin..\
I Liked It Man !! You Rock !! 🙂
Hello Frank,
I’m having a trouble with the slide on my landing page which worked good till now, together with Autoptimize (even with the Optimize Javascript Option checked).
Today updated the slide and changed some images and the page is unable to load it anymore.
I’m obliged to uncheck “Optimize JavaScript Code” to let it work.
I tried the different options and possibilities in the Optimize-JS box without success.
I also tried to write it in the “Exclude scripts from Autoptimize” box. No way!
Didn’t I write the name of the plugin properly in the box (I tried “slideshow” “slideshow_jquery” and even “slideshow_jquery_image_gallery_script”)?
Any idea?
– WP 4.0 with a twentytwelve child theme. Name of the plugin : “Slideshow” by Stefan Boonstra. –
Sorry if the topic came out already!
Many many thanks in advance.
Hazlo
Hello Frank
I think i finally found it.
I excluded jquery from js optimization and the slideshow worked again.
But I still don’t know why it worked till now and not anymore.
Maybe WP 4.0?
So ok It works! And your plugin makes my page loads much faster.
Thanks a
So the problem was with a WP SEO update, which introduced some freaky script (type “ld/json”) which broke optimized JS. I pushed out 1.9.1 to hard-exclude that block of inline code (identified by string “potentialAction”). Thanks for your help Hazlo!
Thank you for your quick reply. Regards
Hello Frank,
Thx for pushing your release 1.9.1 so fast!
Another little question?
I recently found a theme I like for the mobile version of my site but I had to forget it because the Google Insights note decreased. And this was due to … the google fonts used by this theme!
And the “Inline all Css” box is already set to “on”.
So I wonder how to defer the loading of those font.googleapis css?
Any idea?
Thank you!
Hazlo
Bonjour Hazlo!
Google fonts (and all downloadalble fonts) always slow down a site. If you would defer loading those, you’d get the weird effect of first seeing one font (the fallback browser-native one) and the second Google one after half a second (or more, esp. on mobile). So my opinion; don’t use custom fonts. So if I were you, I would create a child theme and in it’s functions.php dequeque the Google Fonts style. But AO doesn’t do that 🙂
frank
Thanks Frank for your early Sunday answer!
I understood how to dequeue a web font.
I’d like to explore the path of enqueuing the same web font then, but locally hosted instead of getting it everytime from Gooogle api’s or whatever.
I got from your test that it was slightly worse in performance terms than using the basic wp font but I’d like to try it anyway.
So a last question and I won’t bother you with this topic (since it does not directly concern AO): Would you know about a detailed tuto for enqueuing a local hosted font? I could not find it on stackexchange (maybe I did not look for the right tag?)
Nogmaals bedankt Frank!
Hazlo
Sure, no problem. You would have to:
good luck!
frank
Thank you Frank.
I’ll do my best and I’ll let you know.
Best!
Hazlo
It works just the way I wished!
Thanks again for your help and advices, Frank.
All the Best!
Hey Frank,
Ik heb gemerkt dat je plugin een conflict veroorzaakt met de plugin UK Cookie Consent. De UKCC plugin toont een bar onderaan of bovenaan de pagina waarop staat dat de site cookies gebruikt. Wanneer AutoOptimize aanstaat, verschijnt de bar echter niet.
AutoOptimize staat hiervoor bij mij jammer genoeg gedeactiveerd. Denk je dat dit te verhelpen valt?
Alvast proficiat met de goeie plugin!
groeten,
Wout
Ik denk dat je de FAQ eens moet lezen Wout (en dan vooral het stuk over troubleshooting en hoe je bepaalde JS kunt uitsluiten van optimizatie) 🙂
Klopt, ik heb het ondertussen ook getest en het lukt inderdaad als ik de optie “De CSS buiten de niet mee optimaliseren. Kan helpen om de cache-omvang te beperken.” aanvink.
Hi Frank,
In the recent past you helped my out setting up Autoptimize for my website which really speeded up my site. I still experiencing that the site is performing below average.
I’ve read alot about setting up a CDN to improve website performance but it’s not that easy to set up when you have a SSL cert. installed on your site (+ it’s quite expensive for some kind of reason when you have a SSL cert, not hosted by CDN provider). I’ve contacted my host to see if they could help me out a bit and they told me I’ve got a lot of scripts CSS/JS and it takes some time to deliver the dynamic content…
Besides that they said that a CDN wouldn’t help much for these kind of problems.
I did run my website through Google Page Speed test, and got a lot of “bad” response by google. I need to compress some images (which I will do) but still get suggestions like:
– minify Js
– minify CSS
– minify HTML
– Use browser caching (I’ve got WP Super Cach installed)
I don’t understand why google is giving me those suggestions because I use WP Minify/Autoptimize and WP Super Cach.
Here a screensnap from my current settings of Autoptimize: http://monosnap.com/image/46jFVptPj2M22J80cZGB8HhiptSfEh#
Any idea what is causing the bad google rating an slow response time of the site?
I thought I write you in Engish so other people can read along.. 😉
Thanks again.
Best,
Joost
Hi Joost; main problem is that your CSS & JS still is “render blocking”.
For JS the reason is that you (had to) force(d) JS in head and that you had to exclude certain JS from being optimized. JS is only non-blocking if it is deferable (i.e. at the end of the HTML with flag defer set). To accomplish that, you would have to redevelop your theme not to rely on jQuery and jQuery-plugins to the same extend (or in the same way). The JS that was excluded from optimization is the reason for the “minify JS” advice.
CSS render blocking something else; you could “inline” or “inline + defer” your CSS, you can find more info on that here.
But I would start with the image optimizations, if I were you 🙂
Hope this helps,
frank
Hello Frank,
I just want to let you know that I think that Autoptimize is a great plugin and it works well with wp Super Cache.
When checking my site with Google page speed service it told me that the plugin is that none of my content above the fold could not be rendered, so I checked thew element.
Here it is.
https://www.lifenaturalremedies.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_5fee879024c5a866f83148a6547d3060.css
I thought that I should let you know this, and perhaps you have a work around for it.
Thank’s again for the plugin.
Wolfgang
Evening Wolfgang;
CSS by default is render blocking and so is the CSS added in AO’s default configuration. You can however change that by using “inline” (easier) or “defer&inline” (better). There’s more info on this in the FAQ.
Hope this helps,
frank
seeing a LOT of 404 errors with URLs ending with (# changed for privacy)
/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_3215556hg6u785dgffdghtrhgedda9794b7f5e1e.js
We run:
AutOptimize
WP Super Cache
Google XML Sitemap Generator (http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/)
Not real sure which one is causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Don
that’s an autoptimize-file that somehow got deleted Don. can’t say what is causing this (but ao never removes files and the other two won’t touch those files either). best way to solve this is to clear your wp super cache’s cache, this will force the page that is referring to that js to be rebuilt, which in turn will trigger AO to recreate that file.
hope this helps,
frank
Hi Frank! Quick question for you — I am running a membership site plugin (WishList Member), and I’d love your thoughts about autoptimize interacting with it. The membership plugin polls the wp usertable as the user makes requests of the site for pages / posts to determine permissions. As a result, I can’t use any caching plugins, and I exclude these pages from my CDN via regex. This keeps the membership plugin operating correctly.
What do you think the impact of autoptimize might be on a plugin that is this ‘heavy’? Will I need to exclude all the membership pages from autooptimize? Thanks!
Hi Don.
If a page cannot be cached by a page caching plugin, there is some extra overhead for Autoptimize, as it will for every request of such a page start aggregating all CSS/JS and will then check if a cached optimized version exists (vs AO not being triggered at all for a page is served from cache). Other then that, as the CSS and JS probably are not affected by permissions, I don’t think there is an impact really.
Hope this helps,
frank
I didn’t realize you were the author when I replied on the other post.. But thank you for Autoptimize.. This is the best minify plug-in I’ve ever used! I will never switch!
Chris
Really like the plugin, it has helped my site. I have a similar issue with Yet Another Related Plugin loading below the footer. I realize the fix is to exclude the script but I’m a novice and afraid to break my site again. What is the exact script I would enter to exclude YARPP?
Joe
HI Joe;
YARRP does not have a script in the page, problem is likely CSS. You could try adding “styles_thumbnails.css.php” to the comma-seperated CSS exclusion list, but I doubt it’s being aggregated at all (as it’s a .php-file, which AO does not take into account). In that case you might have to play with the CSS itself, adding !important to specific styles, to make sure they’re not overruled.
Hope this helps,
frank
This plugin is amazing! It saved my day! I was messed up by some other plugins which function is minify and combine js and css files. They are too complicated and ineffective.
Is there any plan for i18n? I am eager to help for Simplified Chinese version. Contact me if you do have a plan.
Thank you soooooo much!
This plug in is amazing, alot better then other minify plug ins i have used in the past. Easy to use and speeds up your site.
Yes. This Autoptimize plugin is awesome. It helps to Minify HTML, CSS and JavaScript easily. I am also using this and significantly increased my site speed. Thank you, Jyoti.
I was able to locate the problem. There is interference with the admin bar on top. When seeing the page as a regular user, the fonts are ok. I don’t know why is this happening.
Cheers
