Peak in bandwidth usage (with WPEngine)
-
Hi Frank,
As always, a thousand thanks for creating this fantastic plugin! It’s working really great! On Friday, I wanted to see how I could optimize my website more in order to improve my GTMetrics and Yslow scores, so I activated the following options:
Also aggregate inline JS? (checked)
Also aggregate inline CSS? (checked)
Inline all CSS? (checked)My score on Yslow for most pages improved from a D to an A. So I was pretty pumped with the result!
However this morning (Monday), I noticed on my WPEngine admin panel that my bandwidth consumption went +300% vs the rest of the month (but not because my website went viral, lol).
So I suspected the above options to be the culprit. I deactivated them to test if any of those caused this peak in bandwidth usage. Of course, I would love to keep them “on” to keep a good page score, but my server monthly budget would badly increase.
Do you think inlining CSS/JS caused this increase in bandwidth usage? Is this something in relation with plugins that could be generating javascript-variables, like you mentioned it in your article https://blog.futtta.be/2014/03/19/how-to-keep-autoptimizes-cache-size-under-control-and-improve-visitor-experience/ ?
I thought that caching CSS and JS would actually save bandwidth ??
Since you recommend WPEngine in the “optimize more” tab, what set up would you recommend for Autoptimize to play well with WPEngine (from a bandwidth usage and performance perspective)?Thank you in advance for your advices (I know you are a busy man, so “yes/no” answers work for me too)!
