    I have installed SG Optimizer to speed up my site and removed other duplicating plugins such as smush but when I test the speed on Google it’s SG Optimizer that is slowing it down
    …siteground-optimizer-assets/siteground-optimizer-combined-….css
    …siteground-optimizer-assets/siteground-optimizer-combined-j….js

    Why is this and what can I do to improve the speed?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hey @casket21,

    The reason on why Google shows these two files are slowing down the site is caused due to the nature of the minification and combination of all of the other scripts on the page.

    By default, the plugin combines and minifies all scripts and styles that the site uses throughout all pages. If you would like to lower the size of those files, feel free to use the provided field to exclude less used scripts and stylesheets from the combination. Once excluded, it should lower the file size, therefore speeding up the request for the combined CSS and JS files.

    Kind Regards,
    Ignat

    Hi Ignat.
    Thanks for coming back to me.
    Which scripts should I be removing? You mention to exclude less used scripts and stylesheets but how do I know which are less used?

    Also I have just tried to add a new landing page and added a form with Forminator but it won’t show unless I deactivate SG optimizer. Which settings in SG Optimizer are preventing new forms from showing? The forms already on the site seem to be unaffected – it’s just any new ones.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hey @casket21,

    Would it be possible to provide a URL for the new landing page?

    Hi Ignat
    Thanks but the guys from Forminator have sorted the landing page with a few tweaks and purges!

    Any assistance with knowing which scripts are less used would be much appreciated to speed up the site though.
    Many thanks in advance
    Kind Regards
