  • Didn't work

    I tried it with the Divi theme and it actually made the site slower.

  • Semplice veloce, come piace a me :)

    Spero che si aggiorni presto all'ultima versione WP, ottimo lavoro!

  • One of the best Optimization Plugin

    A big thank you to Mr. Simone Nigro for this awesome lightweight plugin.

  • Works very well

    Made the site instantly faster. Too bad it doesn't also optimize css 'above the fold', that would be great.

  • Excellent Plugin

    Does exactly what it is supposed to and nothing more. Very, very lean!

  • Great! Works Perfectly!

    I had 3 cases of "rendering blocking javascript" installed this, cleared my cache, and all 3 errors on Google Page Speed test were fixed! Thanks for saving me some time!
