Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Perform - Optimize Performance

Perform is conservative by default. Asset unloading, page cache, CDN rewriting, and integration-specific controls only run when you enable them. If an asset change causes a layout or behavior issue, re-enable that asset from the Assets Manager.
Perform can run alongside many host-level and plugin-level caching setups, but avoid enabling two full-page caches for the same page response unless you understand the cache order. Clear all caches after changing cache, CDN, or asset settings.
Menu Cache is designed for classic themes that render menus through wp_nav_menu(). Block themes generally do not need this module because navigation is rendered through block theme paths.
Assets Manager scans the current frontend page while you are logged in as an administrator. Use it page by page for safer asset decisions, then test important templates before applying broad changes.
Yes. Perform 1.7.0 preserves existing public option keys and migrates legacy settings into the current settings shape where needed.
