    I have Autoptimize working on my WP site, and I think it’s doing with JS/CSS minifying, but from what I can tell, I still have a 2% HTML/Text ratio, and my HTML size is about 500kb. I do have Optimize HTML selected, and do not have Keep Comments checked. Do I need another plugin, or should Autoptimize be bringing this ratio (or html file size) down itself?

    I’m using the Karma for WordPress theme, which I know can bloat code a bit (which is why I need the compression).

    Thanks y’all
    Jon

    AO does optimize HTML, but the impact will in general not be huge. If you can share your URL I can have a quick look to see if it is indeed working?

    is you’re in the performance-market you have to be fast, right ??

    anyway; had a look at your HTML and although HTML minification is working, you seem to have “inline all CSS” active and that makes your HTML real bulky (too bulky, probably). consider switching to (the somewhat more complex) “inline & defer”. there’s more info in the FAQ of the difference and on how to proceed.

    have fun,

    Ah yes, I remember this inline and defer . . . pulled my hair out trying to figure out what should go in the box. I see some other plugins that you list–would any of those get me close? I have absolutely no idea at all how to figure out what to put in that box, and from what I understand, it can be extremely difficult to learn that.

    Plugin a better option?

    Thanks! I had found that jonassebastianohlsson.com generator before, but couldn’t get it to work correctly, possibly because i’m on a mac, but it could also be because I wasn’t entering the correct code. I’ve unminified my HTML, just in case that needs to be done. When I view the source code though, I don’t have a text/css link that gets me to the css, so I’m not sure where to go from there. I know how to access the style.css via the editor in Appearance, but it looks nothing like what the video shows.

    Apologies if I’m asking for a bit too much help with this; the video does make it look easy, but I cannot find what looks like the css code. I think once I have that, I’ll be all set.

    Little info I also neglected to include in original post that you ask for at bottom of FAQ:
    I’m using the Karma for WordPress theme. Download link: https://themeforest.net/user/stressprofessionals/download_purchase/6597c529-a380-4937-80b0-59875bbd67f9

    I’m using Yoast SEO plugin as well, and CloudFlare CDN plugin.

    I got it. Took a risk and just copy/pasted the page source itself. That did it! Thanks!
