  • Great idea and a great plugin!

    Thank you so much for the plugin and the idea. But a little advice - the recommendation "disable CSS minification in your plugins" is not always enough. It would be good to add in FAQ examples of correct settings for the most popular plugins. At least for WP Rocket, WP SuperCache, LiteSpeed, W3.

  • No support, doesn't work

    Plugin is not supported and score on Google Page Speed test and Gmetrix test is better without this plugin...

  • very simple to use without concerning broke sites

    I am very happy and satisfy with it, it's a lightweight and very promising plugin. Just install the plugin and keep everything default, It will boost your page speed significantly. In some cases, you can manually exclude by CSS class if you have elements that don't want to be lazyloaded. The developer is a very responsive and quick reply. I am using oxygen builder, If it has a pro version (lifetime deal) for early birds adopters, I'd like to buy it. Great plugin! deserver 5 stars!
