Autoptimize creates own requests

    Hi

    Not sure if I understand right, but when I look at Pingdom, it seems like Autoptimize is creating http requests, 4 JS and 4 CSS in my case.
    No, I know nbr or requests do not have to slow down loadtime much, but still affects speed scoring some.

    Is this normal? and what is the reason to do 8 requests? I want to learn more ??

    A sidenote. When used with AssetCleanUp plugin, it is not always working correctly when AO is activated. I see in the html that my JS are not deferred, and then I try deactivate bot ACU and AO, and sometimes I can see JS deferred again, and then it seems to work.

    Thanks!
    Best regards

    yes, that is normal; AO removes your original CSS/ JS and replaces it with optimized (combining & minifying the original code) versions.

    re. ACU; make sure combining & minifying of CSS/ JS is off in ACU to avoid conflicts with AO.

    Ok, thanks!

    Yes, regarding ACU, I only use AO for minifying. Do not want plugins to interfere.
    But still, there are some glitch, and I have not seen ACU being affected by it.
    Problem is for me, only way to see AO was not working properly, was when I saw JS was not deferred anymore (after installing ACU), otherwise not easy for me to discover.

    AO’s JS is deferred when you’re aggregating JS and JS is not forced in head. If this is not happening, something in ACU’s setting is likely interfering?

    I have never used aggregate in AO, only enabled “Do not aggregate but defer?”.

    I looked through settings now, and there was some Core emoji removal that could interfere. And perhaps (not sure) “Remove query strings from static resources” that could interfere. I did not see any other overlap.

    But could of course missed something. When it has happened and made it work, I never changed settings, just in order how the plugins was activated.

    OK, taking a step back; does this also happen when ACU is not used?

    Honestly can not say. Have not tried and tested without ACU. Only found the 2 times I have activated ACU (with AO activated) that when activating ACU , then AO did not defer.
    And after deactivating ACU defer worked again.
    So, I would not really know if this happens when ACU is not used, both because I want to use it, and also I do not see clear warning, unless I look for deferred JS in html.

    Sorry, have not investigated more.

    well, that strongly suggests ACU is removing the defer attribute somehow, no? maybe ask them? ??

    have you been able to check with ACU support or have you experimented with ACU settings yourself darondaron ?

    Have experimented with ACU and AO settings to avoid conflicts, works very well now thank you!
