    I have tried several free plugins for speed combining css and js none worked some made slower. Does this work with super cache? Or does it take place of and need to deactivate super cache? I do not want to try another as maybe this was part of problem of others not working.

  • @donniam: I believe BWPM works in conjunction with WP Super Cache. I have read through all of the posts in the forum and find several comments of users that have both working fine. Granted, you may need to do some tweaking depending upon which theme and plugins you are using, but that is the cost of using plugins in the first place.

    To clarify:

    – Caching only improves performance for return users as well as users that visit subpages with similar content; the first time they visit the site the files are downloaded and cached. The cached files do not need to be downloaded again upon subsequent visits [until they expire or are deleted from the cache.]

    – Minifying improves performance of every page load; including the initial visit; subsequent visits are further improved due to the reduced filesizes.

    Hope this helps you make your decision. I am about to implement both once I finish going through all the set-up and docs; I’ll post a separate topic if I have any issues.

    Thanks, the problem for me is the configuring them. I need a check the box. I have tried so many i think that pluging totally messed up my site. I uninstalled it and i had to activate main theme, then go back in and re activate child theme. My color settings and social settings were gone, but that was all.
    Thank you,

    Unfortunate for you, but true, is this quote from the following link:

    Many users activate a minify plugin and expect it to just work. This is simply wrong on many levels. –WordPress Minify – Best Practices

    And further, BWPMinify is an “on-the-fly minifying solution,” so the initial page visit may not be improved; as explained in the above article. ??

    Do some homework and read all this plugin has to offer; then reap the benefits. All the best!

    Thanks @ronherren for your reply.

    @donniam yes BWP Minify should work fine with WP Super Cache, or any other cache plugins for that matter.
