Great plugin that adds much needed functionality
Cheers Alex, I found this plugin through your blog. I'm going to promote it in my tutorials. It's about time WordPress got this extra functionality. Are you planning to update the plugin any time soon? It'd be great if the last update was a bit more recent. It would show that you're still actively managing it. Thanks again for an amazing plugin. Warm regards, Johnny.

Works as expected. Improved PageSpeed Score.
This is fairly new plugin. I came here to try this from Author's blog post about it. Very simple solution to such big problem. Definitely helped me get that extra second off my server load times.

Great
I found just what I needed. It is aimed at developers, so probably this is the reason for low number of installs. You might consider updating it to be compatible to latest wordpress version (it works in my case)
