I used Async JavaScript and Autoptimize on a couple of sites a few years ago and achieved significant improvements, but this time, although GTMetrix reports Page Speed A 99% and YSlow 91%, the best I’m getting via google’s pagespeed tests are around 70% mobile and 85% desktop.
Should I delve deeper into minifying CSS etc, or might there be some settings I should try amending?
Thanks for any suggestions you guys might have.

integrates very well with Nginx, and though it has a steep-ish learning curve, it is by far the most advanced, powerful and comprehensive speedup plugin for WordPress, imho. And I’m not even using premium so far.
Really helped me improve my PageSpeed and YSlow ratings (I test via gtmetrix.com), and my overall site speed has increased tremendously. As promised on the tin, it is a complete website optimization framework, capable of nearly every possible speedup trick you can imagine.
In summary, if you are willing to be a little patient and read the docs, and if you like tinkering with settings to “minmax” what works best for you, you will fall in love with this plugin.
Kudos to the devs. I will whole-heartedly recommend this plugin to other WordPress WebDevs.
]]>When testing my site in GTMetrix, I am getting a F grade in the YSlow -> Use cookie-free domains test.
Is there a way to solve these warnings using Litespeed WP plugin? I am not using a CDN.
Thank you!
