• Hello,

    I have noticed today the minifier (doesn’t matter, if Closure, YUI or default jsmin) break my template js file:

    wp-content/themes/optimize/includes/js/scripts.js?ver=3.5.1

    I would like to ignore those template files, but Google Page Speed deducts 5 points and with the following warning

    Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 96.1KiB (78% reduction).

    78% is quite a lot. The funny part is I have gzip compression in my nginx enabled:

    ## Compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    gzip_comp_level 9;
    gzip_http_version 1.1;
    gzip_min_length 0;
    gzip_vary on;

    What could I be missing please?

    Just matching the right mime-types, W3TC should generate a config consistent with your browser cache settings that take care of this for you. Let me know if you’ve found a bug.

    gzip on;
            gzip_disable "msie6";
    
            gzip_vary on;
            gzip_proxied any;
            gzip_comp_level 9;
            gzip_buffers 16 8k;
            gzip_http_version 1.1;
            gzip_min_length 0;
            gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

    This is the full settings with gzip types. The way I see it it is a bug. If you need any more information let me know please.

    Have you looked at the nginx file that W3TC generates?

    Sure here it is:

    # BEGIN W3TC CDN
    location ~ \.(ttf|otf|eot|woff)$ {
       add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*";
    }
    # END W3TC CDN
    # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
    gzip on;
    gzip_types text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon;
    location ~ \.(css|htc|js|js2|js3|js4)$ {

    Hi Frederick,

    Just a recap the minifier was breaking the theme js files no matter if I used closure, YUI or default jsmin.

    Hence I decided to ignore these theme js, but despite the gzip compression being enabled, I get a low score from google, saying I should enable compression. It seems W3C only applies compression if minified.

    Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 105.2KiB (77% reduction).
    
        Compressing https://cdn.chasebot.com/wp-content/themes/optimize/includes/js/prettyPhoto.js?ver=3.5.1 could save 23.2KiB (74% reduction).

    I see you have mentioned a fix in 0.9.2.8

    – Fixed an issue with auto minify

    Is any of these two problems fixed?

    many thanks

    Any idea on whats the best cache plugin for WordPress?

    @junaid@pkteam.com – why are you posting this on a 7 month-old thread on a different topic IN a sub-forum for a cache plugin? Please start your own NEW thread.
