Pagespeed says JS and HTML optimization not enough?

    Hi Frank,
    I love your plugin, it is really simple and works like a charm!
    The only thing is that Google Pagespeed still gives me recommendations to compress the HTML an JS files more… ??
    It says the compression on the HTML and JS files can be minified with several %.
    Why isn’t the compression of Autoptimze enough?

    well; the JS & CSS minification components AO uses typically leave the “important comments” in, as those contain the license information one is supposed to leave in there (see e.g. https://github.com/tubalmartin/YUI-CSS-compressor-PHP-port/blob/master/cssmin.php#L224-L234).

    the HTML minfication is another thing; you might have excluded some inline CSS or JS from being optimized (or it is excluded automatically by AO, e.g. if you have inline JS with a nonce in it) which AO will ignore or maybe your page caching plugin is adding some HTML comments which would be invisible to AO (as the page caching is done after AO).

    Some of these could be tackled by hooking into the AO API filters to alter the output after minification and filtering out e.g. those important comments, but I’m not convinced that would be worth it, really ??

    Hope this clarifies,
    frank
