    Hummingbird seems to be the cause of a bottleneck.

    Granted, I was first using “WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache” Then it was deactivated. Could there be conflicting code at play here? The previous plugin used Smush to compress files. Then Hummingbird found no files needing compression. I usually choose a compression setting exporting from Photoshop anyway (Jpg at 68). Here’s the note from the site: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/240127_AiDcPR_8H5/3/experiments/#Quick

    2 JavaScript files are blocking page rendering.

    By default, references to external JavaScript files will block the page from rendering while they are fetched and executed. Often, these files can be loaded in a different manner, freeing up the page to visually render sooner.

    • /wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/65a3e2850d439bfc3853f0d85b5059cc.js

    Relevant Experiments

    • Defer Render-Blocking ScriptsThis experiment adds a?defer?attribute to render-blocking scripts, causing the browser to fetch them in parallel while showing the page. Deferred scripts still execute in the order they are defined in source. Example implementation:?<script src="/wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/09df35657b2c30add26f1ffcb2fcc0b8.js" defer></script>Assets included in experiment:
      1. /wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/09df35657b2c30add26f1ffcb2fcc0b8.js
      2. /wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/65a3e2850d439bfc3853f0d85b5059cc.js

    Hi @dchapple,

    Hope this message finds you well.

    Hummingbird seems to be the cause of a bottleneck.

    Could you elaborate a little? Is it about asset optimization? We have a guide about optimization on this link https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/hummingbird/#optimization-guide

    Granted, I was first using “WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache” Then it was deactivated. Could there be conflicting code at play here?

    It should not, if the plugin is deactivated there should not be a conflict with Hummingbird.

    The previous plugin used Smush to compress files. Then Hummingbird found no files needing compression.

    Smush is our Image Optimization plugin, it will only compress/optimize images.

    To defer assets in Hummingbird you might need to enable manual optimization and use this option:

    Let us know if you require additional information.

    Best regards,
