Best Autoptimize Settings Updated

November 6, 2020 by AMAN SINGH 16 Comments

Speed is a very important Google ranking factor. You can use Autoptimize plugin to improve your website loading speed. It is a speed booster plugin and makes optimizing your site really easy.

Do you want to make your WordPress site faster? Well, there are many different ways to improve website loading speed. But here, I’ll tell you how to speed up a WordPress site with Autoptimize plugin.

The main goal of the Autoptimize plugin is to minify your website CSS and Javascript files and improve website performance. In addition, it also optimizes HTML files.

But for this, the proper settings are very important. This article will provide the best Autoptimize settings to make your website blazing fast.

How To Setup The Autoptimize Settings

First, install and activate the Autoptimize plugin in your site. After activating the plugin, click on Settings >> Autoptimize. This will take you to the settings page.

So now let’s start configuring Autoptimize settings …

JS, CSS & HTML

In Javascript Options, I have checked the following boxes:

  • Optimize JavaScript Code?
  • Aggregate JS-files?
  • Also aggregate inline JS? (This combines JavaScript files that are located in HTML files. However, Autoptimize gives you a warning. If it breaks anything on your site, disable this. Also increase cache size)
  • Add try-catch wrapping? (Enable it when there are JavaScript errors. This is another way to fix JS errors without having to enable force JavaScript in head)

In CSS Options, I have checked the following boxes:

  • Optimize CSS Code?
  • Aggregate CSS-files?
  • Also aggregate inline CSS?
  • Inline and Defer CSS? (You need to install “Autoptimize criticalcss.com power-up“ plugin and enter the criticalcss.com API Key, which is a premium service that can be availed for £7/month. Otherwise, keep it disabled)

As you can see, there are no advanced settings to optimize in HTML Options. Here just check the box of Optimize HTML Code?.

      Leave HTML Comment Under HTML Option in Autoptimize. Also, uncheck each option to see which works for you.

    Thanks a a lot for this, but each time I alow this settings, upon checking my sitespeed with Google sitespeed checker, it becomes slower.
