We'll create fresh WordPress site with Dependency Minification installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
This plugin takes all scripts and stylesheets that have been added via wp_enqueue_script
and wp_enqueue_style
and automatically concatenates and minifies them into logical groups. For example, scripts in the footer get grouped
together and styles with the same media (e.g. print
) get minified together. Minification is done via WP-Cron in order
to prevent race conditions and to ensure that the minification process does not slow down page responses.
This is a reincarnation and rewrite of the Optimize Scripts plugin,
which this plugin now supersedes.
Features:
/_minified
, which can be configured.dependency_minification_excluded
filter.default_exclude_remote_dependencies
option via the dependency_minification_options
filter, or on a case-by-case basis via the filter previously mentioned.dependency_minification_excluded
filter.cache_control_max_age_cache
option.show_error_messages
option is enabled; such errors are enabled by default if WP_DEBUG
.cache_control_max_age_error
) to prevent back-to-back crons from continually attempting to minify in perpetuity.Last-Modified
and ETag
responses headers and requests will honor If-None-Match
and If-Modified-Since
to return 304 Not Modified
responses (configurable via the allow_not_modified_responses
option).wp_localize_script
) is also concatenated together and attached to the newly-minified script.gzip
or deflate
.Development of this plugin is done on GitHub. Pull requests welcome. Please see issues reported there before going to the plugin forum.
If you are using Nginx with the default Varying Vagrant Vagrants config, you’ll want to remove css|js
from this rule in nginx-wp-common.conf
(or remove the rule altogether):
# Handle all static assets by serving the file directly. Add directives
# to send expires headers and turn off 404 error logging.
