Community Q&A

Should I use Autoptimize with WP Rocket?

Generally, no. WP Rocket includes its own minification and optimization features; using both can cause conflicts and site-breaking issues.

How do I fix render-blocking issues with Autoptimize?

Enable the ‘Aggregate JS-files’ and ‘Aggregate CSS-files’ options, but test thoroughly as these settings can break site layouts or functionality.

Is Autoptimize enough to make my site fast?

Autoptimize helps with minification, but true speed requires image optimization, a CDN, and efficient hosting rather than just a caching plugin.
