What does ‘Asset Optimization–>Activate’ do?

    Hello. If I open Hummingbird–>Asset Optimization, there is a blue ‘Activate’ button (screenshot). What exactly will occur if I click this button? Specifically, will any changes be made to my site? Or will clicking this button just scan for changes to be made?

    This documentation page seems to say that changes will indeed be made. I’d just like to confirm that.

    I believe I tried this once on another site, and changes were made which broke my site– changes which I could not undo. That’s the cause for my concern here.

    Thanks.

    Hello @carlgross

    I hope all is well!

    The Asset Optimization allows optimizing all the assets that are loading on your site. These assets are CSS, JS, and fonts.

    If the Activate button is clicked, the plugin will scan for all available assets on your site, and within the asset list, you can choose which files to minify.

    You may additionally enable advanced mode to reveal more options. Please have a look at this article with additional information on how to use Asset Optimization:
    https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/eliminate-render-blocking-issues-hummingbird/

    Changes in Asset Optimization needs to be made one file at a time. Every time a change is made, please check the front end if all is well. If all is well, continue to the next file.

    Changes can be reverted and reset easily. If the front end appearance is affected, please unselect the last enabled option to revert back to the way it was.

    Overall Asset Optimization setting can be reset or deactivated from Hummingbird > Asset Optimization > Settings. Please see this screenshot:

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia
