    Hi 🙂

    This plugin seems very interesting. I want to know is this similar to autoptimize plugin? With same functionalities? Can you tell me what are the advantages of your plugin against AO? I’m using AO right now, I want to know do I need to migrate to your plugin?

    Thanks!

    Hi Amir,

    Yes, MMR and autoptimize are very similar. There is a few differences that I’ve discovered:

    Autoptimize appears to turn on gzip automatically (MMR leaves this up to the developer)
    Autoptimize can compress HTML
    Autoptimize moves all js to footer unless specified (MMR leaves this up to the developer)
    Autoptimize uses jsmin for javascript minification (MMR uses closure which from our testing creates smaller files)
    Autoptimize uses md5 hash for the files (MMR uses adler32 which from our testing is faster)
    Autoptimize compresses css using cssmin.php (MMR uses Minify which from our testing creates smaller with a barely noticeable difference)

    From our testing MMR executes slightly faster.. but the difference is so tiny I’m wondering if I should really mention it.

    At the end of the day Autoptimize is very good and its up to you which one you want to go with.
