• If you are using this plugin, uninstall it now.

    I have found out that this plugin is cheating page speed testing tools (lighthouse, gtmetrix, etc.).

    If you test your website on the tools above, WP Optimize will hide your JS files and boom you have instant high pagespeed scores.

  • Hi both – WP-Optimize have investigated the claims and have confirmed we’re not deceiving users – it is the original accusation by Gijo Varghese on Twitter which is deceptive. This video shows how Gijo setup the result to make WP-Optimize look deceptive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nb2ddy97qY. The advanced setting he misused is helpful to find out whether the essential js/css files are actually slowing down the web page or not.

    @desmondgrey Yes, as Joe says, the expert setting is clearly marked, and has a tooltip suggesting legitimate use cases. Our competitor chose to ignore that, use it otherwise, and pretend that this was something that WP Optimize wanted him to do! That was really unfair. Please can you amend your review?

    We’re also pretty unhappy that WP Tavern decided to use their reach to magnify these allegations and sensationalise them. If they’d given us 24 hours to respond before publishing it so that we could have completed an investigation, that would have been so much better (our main JS developer was in bed, asleep).

    These is a plugin that can turn off java,s scripts and CSS to show up, I will not name it because here is not the place.. But in the same way are the cheating too ?!?!?!?
