Improve Blog Loading
Time Using WordPress
Plugins by Minifying
Scripts
Today, I am going to share you yet another way to quickly improve your blog speed.
● Minifying a web page is one of the most common optimization strategy in web development.
● JavaScript, CSS, HTML or any browser-side script can be minified for improved performance.
● Once minified, the actual code/file size reduces to great extent and hence the files are meant for
quick download.
However, manually minifying them is a nightmare and painful job. With WordPress, there are always
handy ways to do complex work simpler.
When I was looking to minify my blogs code, I short-listed these 5 plugins and tried them all.
Improve Blog Loading Time Using WordPress Plugins by Minifying
Scripts
This is one of the simplest minify plugin. It doesn’t
have any complex settings. All you have to check
“Optimize HTML Code”, “Optimize JavaScript
Code”, “Optimize CSS Code”.
This plugin minifies and also, caches the scripts.
When you click “Advanced Settings”, you can
exclude certain scripts that you don’t want to
optimize. Also, there is an option to empty the
cached scripts. Looks, it works with your CDN
network also, though I haven’t tried that option.
1. Autoptimize
● This is one of the advanced minify plugin.
● You can minify JavaScript and CSS files
only.
● I don’t see an option to minify HTML code.
● This plugin uses the PHP minify library and
you can easily customize the minified script
name.
● It has very good interface to exclude scripts
from optimization, it nicely shows all the
scripts used in the page.
● It also supports script caching and also,
works with CDN networks.
2. Better WordPress Minify
● This is one of the most commonly used
WordPress cache plugin.
● It also has built-in minify feature.
● You can minify all three: HTML, JavaScript,
CSS and also, it supports file combine.
● That means, it minifies and combines them
into single file for faster loading.
3. W3 Total Cache
● Yet another cache plugin with built-in minify
feature.
● Same like W3 Total Cache, you can minify
all the 3 types of code.
● It also has file combine feature and gzip
compression to improve the loading time.
● If you are not a big fan of W3 Total Cache,
you can go for this one.
4. WP Fastest Cache
● Yet another simplest minify plugin, supports
all the 3 sources.
● You can enable/disable each minification
type and also, put the scripts that you want
to exclude.
● The “Advanced Option”enables combining
the minified file.
● This plugin uses the standard PHP minify
engine where it passes your files as input
and gets back the minified one for serving.
● It also eliminates any duplicate codes from
the source files.
5. WP Minify Fix
Finally, I settled down with W3 Total Cache only, it worked well for my blog. However, you can give a
try with all these plugins and decide, which one doesn’t break your design.
● Because, when you minify the scripts, most of time you will end-up with some design break
issues. This is little time consuming work and you have to try with multiple plugins one-by-one in
order to find out the one that works well with your blog.
● Once minified, your page loads quicker.
● Good Luck !
