optimalisatie

Hi hooperman13,

Thank you for your time to write a review! It will help improve the plugin.

I am sorry to hear that the plugin did not provide the desired result.

The plugin is a toolkit for optimization, it is not a plugin that ‘delivers’ a result. It is always required to configure the plugin correctly before a result can be measured.

The plugin should, however, install without options that could impact the look of a website. For example, CSS delivery optimization is disabled by default.

Did you enable any features after plugin installation? And did you configure Critical CSS?

The problem you describe appears to be related to the quality of Critical CSS.

Did you try the Critical CSS Quality Test and is the correct view displayed in the right-side view?

The example below shows a font problem caused by invalid Critical CSS (the search icon in the left-side view).

Creating Critical CSS is a difficult and meticulous task. More information about the essence of Critical Path CSS creation can be found in the following blog (with video) by two Google engineers.

Hi RebellionNT1,

I will investigate the issue for the release of the next version that will contain more Javascript Optimization features and improved performance.

Hi RebellionNT1,

The error is not related to the proxy cache file / the plugin. If you would turn off the External Script Proxy you will see the url to the script that is inserted. The script proxy simply replaces the url and nothing else.

The error is discussed in other topics in the WordPress support forums. Perhaps it offers a clue:

Hi joaocarlos,

Have you tried to enable the Proxy External Scripts option?

Regarding the server speed, are you using a full page cache plugin? If so, what plugin?

Hi joaocarlos!

The localize javascript feature that localized analytics.js was a beta and has been removed since v2.5.0. The new version contains a new and improved system that proxifies external resources such as Google Analytics analytics.js (the problem for your website) and is able to capture “script injected” async scripts to solve the Leverage browser caching problem in Google PageSpeed Insights automatically for any external script with just a single setting. In most cases, the PageSpeed score should become closer to 100 by just upgrading the plugin. Many websites I’ve upgraded the plugin on achieved a 100 score instantly after the upgrade, often because of the improved javascript localization by the external script proxy.

In the upgrade the proxy setting should have been automatically set to enabled when you were using the localize javascript feature. It appears however, that the External Script Proxy is disabled for your website.

Can you please let me know if the Proxy External Scripts option from the Javascript Optimization tab is enabled?

In the PageSpeed test, a second problem is the server speed. I’ve checked the test multiple times, the speed is ~0,29 seconds (290ms). A server response speed of <0,2 seconds is advised and best would be <0,05 seconds (50ms).

Reduce server response time
In our test, your server responded in 0.29 seconds. There are many factors that can slow down your server response time. Please read our recommendations to learn how you can monitor and measure where your server is spending the most time.

Hi Pat,

Above The Fold Optimization is a difficult and meticulous task. There often is no easy way to achieve a Google PageSpeed 100 Score.

As stated in the plugin description, the plugin is not a simple ‘on/off’ plugin. It is a tool to be used with other tools, such as concatenation, minification and full page cache plugins, and it often requires expert optimization knowledge.

If the proxy is working well (you can debug it using the debug option), the Google PageSpeed penalty is most likely related to the render systematics of your theme and/or complex javascript (render) problems.

Sometimes it can take a day for an expert to achieve a 100 score. The plugin is just made to make it more easy to achieve a 100 score.

I hope that you will find a way to achieve a Google PageSpeed 100 Score!

The issue was resolved via email. The javascript problem was not related to the plugin.

Hi RebellionNT1!

The localize javascript feature that localized ga.js was a beta and has been removed since v2.5.0. The new version contains a new and improved system that proxifies external resources such as Google Analytics ga.js and is able to capture “script injected” async scripts to solve the [Leverage browser caching](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/LeverageBrowserCaching) problem in Google PageSpeed Insights automatically for any external script with just a single setting. In most cases, the PageSpeed score should become closer to 100 by just upgrading the plugin. Many websites I’ve upgraded the plugin on achieved a 100 score instantly after the upgrade, often because of the improved javascript localization by the external script proxy.

In the upgrade the proxy setting should have been automatically set to enabled when you were using the localize javascript feature.

Can you please let me know if the Proxy External Scripts option from the Javascript Optimization tab is enabled? If so, could you please send me the url of your website (in this topic or by email [email protected]).

Hi planningtank,

If the problem persists even when all plugins are disabled, it is most likely to be caused by the theme CSS.

Hi Fitzz,

Thank you for taking the time to report the problem!

The problem you describe appears to be related to the quality of Critical CSS.

Did you try the Critical CSS Quality Test and is the correct view displayed in the right-side view?

The example below shows the Chinese character problem caused by invalid Critical CSS (the search icon in the left-side view).

Hi planningtank!

The problem you describe appears to be related to invalid or low quality Critical CSS. Did you try the Critical CSS Quality Test?

The Above The Fold Optimization plugin does not minify or optimize CSS in the frontend. The plugin only (optionally) optimizes the loading and render process of intact CSS and adds the Critical CSS that is configured in the settings.

The proxy offers the ability to exclude hosts or files from the proxy (Proxy Exclude List). This will enable to solve the issue quickly without losing the benefit of the proxy for other resources.

To exclude all resources on cdn2.mydomain.com you would simply enter cdn2.mydomain.com in the exclude list.

Hi Bluemad,

Thank you for taking the time to report the problem!

My first idea is that the CDN may be blocking the proxy IP (perhaps it is the same IP as the CDN).

Are other resources such as scripts or stylesheets on other hosts successfully loaded via the proxy?

There is no compatibility issue with the mentioned plugins. In the below example the SumoMe share feature is used with the External Javascript Proxy and it is working well.

More information related to the issue will be posted in your second support thread:

Dear planningtank,

Thank you for taking the time to report the problem!

There is no compatibility issue with the mentioned plugins. In the below example the SumoMe share feature is used with the External Javascript Proxy (see console) and it is working well.

The problem is caused by the javascript component of the proxy that is causing protocol independent scripts (e.g. src="//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js" to fail. I am not sure yet why the problem occurs specifically on your website as the problem does not occur on any other website that I tested the plugin on.

The proxy is now called without https://

https://planningtank.com/?url=%2F%2Fload.sumome.com%2F&type=js&abtf-proxy=SECRET-KEY

v2.5.3 solves the problem and makes sure that protocol relative urls are translated before being sent to the proxy. The proxy itself is now also able to handle protocol relative urls.

Please let me know of v2.5.3. solves the issue.
