 * Hello Frank,
 * today I tried your plugin for the first time. And I’m really impressed. Till 
   now I used every time the W3 own minify-mechanism (manually mode), cause all 
   minifying plugins created more problems than solutions.
 * But AO is the first one that seems to work (without page break) out of the box.
   But I think that I need some improvement for my settings:
 * 1. I have an error inside console: Uncaught ReferenceError: thickboxL10n is not
   defined – thickbox.js?ver=3.1-20121105:9
 * 2. There are still 9 /wp-includes/.js/ files before your /cache/autoptimize/ –
   file in footer.
    How can I include them into the AO file (jquery, jquery-migrate,
   thickbox, underscore.min, shortcode, media-upload, mediaelement-and-player, wp-
   mediaelement, comment-reply)? There are also 2 /wp-includes/.js/ in our header(
   wp-emoji / twemoji)..
 * 3. This time there is no caching plugin active (I think I wanna go with [Zencache](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trigger-cache-purge-zencache?replies=3)).
 * It seems that the pages need more time to load than before (just a few seconds)
   but I thought with fewer http-requets it should work faster ? This is the same
   for the first load, the second, the third and so on..
 * 4. There are 3 AO css-files in header. Is there a special reason why it is not
   in a single file? Can I do it and makes it sense or it is better to work with
   more files cause one file is to big for anything (I activated to include small
   pictures in css, cause I use it by my own during styling my websites)..
 * 5. You included an autoptimize_helper.php file. Should it use for API requests
   or it is better to include this filters inside theme’s function.php ?
 * Thank you and best regards

 * morning BBindikator;
    1. the thickbox-error implies it doesn’t entirely work 
   out of the box; I think (but I’m not sure) thickboxL10n is set in inline, which
   you’ll have to exclude from optimization 2. that’s surprising. might be due to
   a plugin, nextgen gallery for example complicates things maybe try with the setting
   described [in the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/)? 3. AO
   indeed slows things down if no cached optimized CSS/JS can be used, but in that
   case you might have page- or request-specific code which breaks the cache and
   which you should exclude (again, cfr. FAQ) 4. that’s because AO honours the media
   types specified for the origin CSS, you’ll probably have media=”screen”, media
   =”all” and media=”print”. 5. the easiest solution (avoiding changes to themes
   being overwritten when upgrading them) is to have any code in a small seperate
   plugin (mine is “Misc helpers”), but you could indeed also use autoptimize_helper.
   php and uncomment the hooks you want to use.
 * Have a nice Sunday!

 * Good morning Frank,
 * thanks for your answers. I will digg into your FAQ and the linked blogs there
   to get it to work properly (now I know that I have to do that : ) )
 * With out of the box I meant, that it do not break the page, what is a really 
   good starting point. We use a lot of extensions and plugs (together with plugin
   organizer), so the rest seems to get fixed with some modifications from page 
   to page (or slug to slug).
 * But it seems to be worth to go deeper with your plugin.. It makes a solid job.
 * Wish you a nice sunday, too.
 * Thank you and best regards
    Bruno
