In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] woff2 not saving, defaults to woff – bug@dan14 Thanks for telling me about this. I will take a look at this and put in a fix as soon as I can. A few questions for you:
1) Which browser are you using?
2) Which version of PHP are you using?Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] Just Brilliant! 🎯🏅🚀🤩@soulpappa Thank you for the kind words! I am working on a “pro” version which has some much more powerful features, so you haven’t seen anything yet!

In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] the dummest question@arsenalemusica your site is loading about 200 separate resources, and it is taking nearly 4 seconds to load WP, your plugins, and everything else your site uses on the backend. Based on the link below, I would gather the resources loaded from external sites and insert those as preconnect hints.

In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] the dummest question@arsenalemusica I can tell you exactly which hints should be used, if you can provide me with your website name or a screenshot of your waterfall report.

In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] the dummest question@arsenalemusica Thanks for contacting me.
I would recommend adding only the URL’s from your waterfall report which are from external sites, while ignoring those from your own site.
There is a feature in place which, after installing the plugin (or clicking the “Reset” button next to “Reset automatically configured preconnect hints”), will collect these URL’s after the front end of your website has been loaded.
I hope this answers your question- if it doesn’t please let me know!

In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] Quick Question@my2424u Thanks for contacting me.
1) I would recommend clearing your cache after you make changes to any of the hints you have in the Pre* Party plugin.
2) Perfmatters doesn’t quite give you all the flexibility with resource hints that you may want. For example, my plugin offers all 5 hints, with the option to add all the necessary attributes to each, and gives you a nice simple UI to edit them, as well as the “auto preconnect” hint creation. So I would say my plugin just makes working with resource hints much easier.
Hope that answers your question.
@hosamhos60 Thanks for contacting me.
I totally understand your point, and I am in the process of creating another version of the plugin which allows for hints to be created unique to individual posts.

In reply to: [Pre* Party Resource Hints] The best WordPress plugin in its class !@fabioperri Thank you for the kind words!
A) Yes.
B) If you want to minify that script, you may certainly do so without negatively impacting its’ functionality.
@fabioperri Personally I feel confident enough that you should try to test out the plugin with PHP 8 now, rather than wait on me. I would be surprised if there are any issues.
@fabioperri Good points. I will certainly do what I can do add those prefetch features when I can.
The “auto preconnect” and “auto prefetch” features work quite differently- so the hints generated from each will not be redundant. Auto preconnect feature will only create hints for resources hosted on external sites.
@fabioperri
1) I have updated the way that JS script fires and sends data back (the “auto preconnect” feature) so that it can only fire within six hours of being initially loaded by the WP front end. That is to prevent it constantly firing an ajax request if it is cached in another file by a caching plugin. I do need to update the readme!2) You don’t really need to worry about minifying that JS script- it is very small, is loaded seldomly- so it doesn’t have an impact on front end loading time.
3) See #1.
Good questions you have! Hope that answers them.
@fabioperri I have done cursory testing with PHP 8.0, and my plugin does seem to be compatible with that version and WP 5.6. But I have not tested it too thoroughly yet- so if I were you I would test out your site on a dev server before using PHP 8 on a production environment.
I do plan on releasing a version within a month or so with more confident PHP 8 support.@fabioperri Thanks for contacting me. If you have the “auto prefetch” feature enabled with my plugin, you don’t really need to have the Flying Pages plugin. The author of that plugin was kind to let me use his JS script on my plugin to achieve the same results.
