Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Easy Optimizer – PageSpeed, Cache & Core Web Vitals (Unused CSS, Delay JS, Lazy Load)
Yes. Easy Optimizer is built to play nicely alongside other plugins, including WP Rocket, FlyingPress, Perfmatters, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Autoptimize, NitroPack and the common page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Oxygen) and SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math). It also works with WooCommerce and Cloudflare. The only rule is simple: don't run the same optimization twice. Every module is independent and only runs when you switch it on, so just turn off whatever overlaps with another plugin you're already using. Most importantly, never run two page caches at once — if another plugin is handling caching, leave Easy Optimizer's Page Cache off (or turn the other one off and let Easy Optimizer handle it). The same applies to features like unused CSS, delay JavaScript, or lazy load: pick one plugin to do each job. This means you can use Easy Optimizer as a complete all-in-one replacement, or keep your current setup and use only the parts you want — for example the Backend Analyzer, Autoload Health, database cleanup, or heartbeat and cron controls — while another plugin keeps doing the caching. Either way works.
Easy Optimizer is free and open, with no premium-locked core features and no upsells: caching, Remove Unused CSS, Delay/Defer JS, LCP preload, lazy load, Cloudflare and hosting-cache purging, database cleanup and the Backend Analyzer are all included. Those paid plugins are mature and excellent; Easy Optimizer aims to give you the same core speed wins for free, and to coexist cleanly if you already run one — just don't run two of the same optimization at once.
Yes. Every optimization module runs on your shop, while Cart, Checkout and My Account are automatically excluded so the purchase flow is never cached or altered — including custom or translated slugs. Multi-currency stores cache a correct copy per selected currency, and you can disable WooCommerce cart fragments from the Bloat Removal tab to speed up pages that don't need them.
All of them. On Apache it can optionally write .htaccess rules (after a per-server safety probe that prevents a bad rule from ever 500-ing your site); on Nginx, LiteSpeed and OpenLiteSpeed it serves cached pages through PHP. On hosts with their own server-level cache (Varnish / LiteSpeed / nginx FastCGI), preloading and on-visit caching are handled correctly.
Defer keeps scripts in order but runs them after HTML parsing; it is the safer choice and rarely breaks anything. Delay goes further, holding scripts until the first user interaction (scroll, tap, move) for the biggest INP and blocking-time win, at a slightly higher chance of needing exclusions. Start with Defer if you're cautious, or Delay (jQuery excluded by default) for maximum speed, and add any problem script to the exclusion list.
Usually not. Delayed scripts run on the first interaction, so analytics and pixels still fire for engaged visitors. If you need a tag to load immediately — for example to measure bounces or run consent logic — add it to the Delay JS exclusion list and it will load normally.
Add the affected stylesheet or CSS selector to the exclusion fields on the CSS tab and rebuild. Remove Unused CSS also learns JavaScript-generated classes (sliders, menus, tabs) automatically so their styles aren't stripped. To revert quickly, use Safe Mode on the Settings tab to return to a conservative baseline.
Use the exclusion fields on each tab — the Cache tab has URL and cookie exclusions for pages you never want cached, and the JavaScript tab lets you exclude scripts by name or URL from Delay/Defer. For a one-off test you can also append ?nocache, ?nodelayjs, ?norucss or ?nooptimize to any front-end URL to disable that feature for that single request.
It minifies your local CSS and JS (caching each file on disk and processing it once). It does not force-combine files into one — under HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 that usually no longer helps and can hurt caching — so Easy Optimizer focuses on minification, delay/defer and removing unused CSS instead.
No. Every core feature works without a CDN. If you want next-gen image delivery you can optionally enable the built-in Image CDN (WebP/AVIF), and you can connect Cloudflare for edge-cache purging — but neither is required.
