 * Hi
    Recently I ran some page performance on my website. I have implemented some
   of the suggestions including setting up a CDN ( I chose CloudFare). I was also
   suggested to minify CSS & Java scripts. Does anyone have any experience using
   CloudFare minify CSS & Java. Is there anything I should watch out for?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fminify-java-css%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * A few questions upfront…
 * 1. are you using Cloudflare through your host?
    2. Overall, I am guessing you
   want to speed up your site?
 * Might want to look into plugins such as [Autoptimize](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/)
 * Minifying CSS and JS files is a good start.

 * Thanks for your quick response bloggingthemes.
    1) I am using CloudFare plan 
   free website. My host is bluehost 2) Yes i am trying to improve my web speed.
   I used W3 Total Cache, Disable Emoji & Optimize Database after “Deleting Revisions
   so far. It has improved the performance. Waiting for Remove Query Strings From
   Static Resources” to test up to WP 4.8.2 before I will use it.
 * I read that minifying CSS & JS has a risk. And if something goes wrong, I might
   not be able to fix it. Most of the things identified that can be minified are
   twenty seventeen resources. That is why I would like to know if if anyone has
   any adverse experience in twenty seventeen after minifying with CloudFare. Or
   how many milli seconds would it save so that i can decide if its worth taking
   that risk.

 * No worries….and yes, you are correct that sometimes minifying some CSS and JS
   can cause some issues, but this is one of those things you just have to try out
   one item at a time and test your site, if all is good, do the next file, and 
   so on. Usually it will be a JS problem more than CSS.
 * I’ve done a minify of Twenty Seventeen CSS and Js without problems on a test 
   site a couple months ago. It’s more of how well will third party plugins cooperate
   if their scripts are minified — and especially combined into a single file (if
   you go that route).
 * Right now for the last few days I’ve been doing little enhancements with my blogging
   themes website with my host where I am using Cloudflare. So far so good.
 * Still check out that plugin I mentioned.
 * One recommendation though, as you do things, make a website backup each time 
   you are about to make a change. Always good to play it safe incase anything went
   wrong.
 * Cheers,
    Andre
