FAQ
-
Will this break my site?
-
Optimizations only run for logged-out visitors, and every optimization has an exclusion list. Test on staging first and use the exclusion fields if something looks off.
-
How do I find a CSS or JS handle to exclude?
-
View your site’s page source (logged out) and look for the
id="HANDLE-css"orid="HANDLE-js"attribute on<link>/<script>tags. Use the part before-css/-js. -
How do I temporarily disable everything?
-
Enable “Disable All Optimizations” on the General tab, or append
?mpprfo_no_optto any front-end URL.
