Disable “Serve images in next-gen formats” optimization. I’ll try to understand where this gd-webp issue comes from and release an update with a fix if possible.

We have fixed the mail server, so I have sent you an email reply.

@wingusupport Did you check the contents of that file? Did you find out what Wordfense doesn’t like there?

Cache files ending in _js contain the result of combining and minifying JavaScript files on your site (you can view the contents of these files, they contain partially-formed HTML in JSON format). I don’t know exactly what Wordfence is reacting to, but you should probably have an original file somewhere on your site that has the same reaction. Send us one of these files for analysis (to [email protected]) and we’ll see what might be wrong.

Спасибо за отзыв. Уведомления можно закрыть “крестиком” в правом верхнем углу, а введение лицензионных ключей было для нас вынужденной мерой, чтобы уменьшить нагрузку на наш сервер генерации Above-the-fold CSS, т.к. некоторые сайты слали запросы гораздо чаще заложенного в плагине и мешали генерировать CSS для остальных сайтов.

@renateho To investigate the reported issue, I personally tested the license key request process and successfully received a key via email. After entering the key in the Advanced settings, the request prompt disappeared as expected. If you could kindly reach out to us at [email protected] and provide more details about the steps you followed, we would apreciate it. This will help us identify and address this issue promptly.

Also I noticed that PageSpeed Ninja is active on your website. However, it seems that it is failing several Google PageSpeed Insights audits. Have you enabled all of the recommended optimizations, such as “Initial server response time was short,” “Serve images in next-gen formats,” “Ensure text remains visible during webfont load,” etc.? From the HTML page sources I checked, it appears that some of these optimizations may currently be disabled.

Currently, PageSpeed Ninja compresses HTML code using Brotli, but in the next release (1.2.0), optimized JS and CSS files will also be precompressed using Brotli.

Hmm, Brotli compression works well on our test server with “Enable text compression” and “Gzip Compression” enabled. Note that enabling “Gzip Compression” is sufficient to use the best compression algorithm supported by the visitor’s browser (Gzip, Deflate or Brotli), so the Brotli is not mentioned in the interface, but you can check that the server’s response contains the Content-Encoding: br header.

@renateho Contact me at [email protected]. I’d like to know more about the characteristics of your webserver so that I can reproduce the error and fix it.

Regarding the free license. It is currently required for the Critical CSS feature (part of the Eliminate Render-Blocking Resources optimization) that runs on our server, and we have to limit the number of requests depending on the type of license (Free or Pro). In the future, we will have several other features that will require integration with our server. However, the core functionality of the plugin can work without a license key. Of course, we are grateful to those users who subscribe to the Pro license, but even in the Free version, PageSpeed Ninja outperforms other optimization plugins (according to our tests).

We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our plugin.

In order to assist you better, could you please provide us with the URL of your website, the specific optimization categories you enabled, and further details on the nature of the issues you encountered (what “completely broke” does mean)?

Please feel free to reach out to our support team directly at [email protected] if you require immediate assistance or have any additional concerns.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

If you experience any problems with the plugin, please contact us at [email protected]. Please provide a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing. Rest assured that we will do our best to assist you.

The license key is only needed to reduce the load on our server when generating Critical CSS styles (some sites send a lot of requests, so we’d like to set some quotas to free up resources for other sites). And there is absolutely nothing malicious in the plugin code, we have been developing it since 2016 and plan to continue developing it in the future.

I’m going to mark this thread as resolved in a couple of days. Do you have any comments to add to it?
