Plugin Compatibility Autoptimize

    I have WordPress 4.2.2, and need a userfriendly plugin that renders javascript and CSS. One plug in wasn’t compatible with my website, and then I saw the write up for Autoptimize, which works for wordpress up to 4.2.2.
    I attempted to download then got a message that said “do you really want to do that?” Why would I get this message and are there any plugins that work with 4.2.2? I attempted Supercache3 and that really slowed down my site.
    Thanking you in advance,

    I can confirm AO works perfectly with wp 4.2.2. The “do you really want to do that?” message as such is not due to some incompatibility between WP & a plugin, but in general is due to some problem with a number of security checks in WP when executing an action in the backend. Try to logout, log in again, immediately go to the “install new plugin” page and re-try to install AO. Alternatively you could also download and unzip the autoptimize zip-file and upload the result via FTP or your hoster’s admin-panel.

    regarding optimizing CSS/JS: do take into account that this can make your site slightly slower as well, so also install a page caching plugin (e.g. wp super cache or hypercache) to make your optimized site really fly!

    hope this helps,

    Thanks! I logged out, and went back in and this time was able to download Autoptimizer without issue. Settings are going, and I took a look at the Hypercache as well. Greatly appreciate your suggestion and help.
