bloated & non-functional

  • Was looking for a convenient way to automate optimization process.

    Took out manually implemented loadCSS & applied this plugin.

    I was enticed by other optimization options this plugin seems to offer.

    Actual load time took a big heat (on pingdom tools, my test site went from 0.34 seconds to 0.49 seconds) and google page score went from 98 to 93.

    Yikes!!

    My fellow developers, don’t waste your time with this plugin. I guess there is no shortcut in optimization process. At least not with this plugin.

    This isn’t an ideal plugin for already optimized sites. However, in defense of this plugin, I am sure some sites can benefit from this plugin.

    Hi HackYaaaaa,

    Thank you for your review.

    The plugin should not cause any performance hit.

    The plugin has been improved greatly in the past months. v2.5.0 has several new features such as conditional critical CSS and a Critical CSS quality tester to compare the critical CSS with the full CSS. This last feature will enable you to see if the critical CSS has been configured correctly.

    If you are interested to give the plugin another try, I am willing to take a look at your website to see if there is a configuration problem and what you can do to achieve a Google PageSpeed 100 Score.
