 * Great plugin and easy to use but i have one question: Is there a way to let HB
   auto-check changes in asset files? If do CSS changes on a live site HB normally
   doesn’t recognize these changes. Also it’s possible that a plugin uses different
   files after an update and be a problem if HB doesn’t know there are optimized
   assets to renew.

 * Hello [@pdjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdjp/)
 * Hummingbird can automatically detect file changes, and it will optimize the new
   files added by a plugin.
 * If you meant the asset optimization features.
 * Do you have any cache issues related to assets like CSS and JS files?
    We would
   be happy to assist you if you create a new topic with more details about the 
   problem. [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/?view=all#new-topic-0](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/?view=all#new-topic-0)

 * Ah ok, i was wondering because every time i made some CSS changes they were not
   recognized (Dev Tools open, no browser caching) until i disabled HB or re-checked
   the assets. I’m new to HB and hadn’t any issues with plugins but read that it
   could be a similar problem if HB provides old assets. I’m using Bootscore as 
   theme which compiles all SCSS/CSS to one file.

 * Hello [@pdjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdjp/)
 * Hummingbird asset optimization can detect file changes and update the minified
   file however, if you can’t see your changes after updating a post or page, the
   issue might related to CSS file versions.
 * There is an option under Hummingbird -> Advanced tools -> General called “Remove
   query strings from my assets” which can cause a cache issue because it is removing
   the file versions, you may want to check and disable it.
