 * This plugin adds adware in the code without the user’s knowledge. Generating 
   bad display the web, and worsening SEO

 * Excuse me? I have ab-so-lu-tely no idea what you’re talking about there Afelic.
   Could you be any more specific?
 * (autoptimize aggregates & minifies JS & CSS. if the JS that is aggregated introduces
   adware, then there’s nothing AO can do about that. if anything, this must be 
   what is happening)

 * For anyone reading this; I personally guarantee Autoptimize does not add adware.
   Does not. Will not. Ever.
 * The first person who can prove that the official version ([on wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/)
   or [on github](https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize), can’t vouch for any non-
   official stuff that might be out there) does insert adware, will get €500 transferred
   to his/ her bank-account.
 * I’ve tried contacting alefelc for more info, but got no response.
 * Frustrating!

 * The plugin author speak with me by email and clarified that there no adware. 
   I will be in doubt and try it again in multiple site.

 * Autoptimize in no way shape or form “adds adware in the code without the user’s
   knowledge; [generates] bad display the web, [or] [worsens] SEO”.
 * We have used this plugin on hundreds of projects and never, not once, have we
   experienced anything even remotely like this.
 * Frank is tiresly dedicated to this plugin and it makes me a bit nauseous to see
   a review like this so I felt compelled to comment.
 * Best,
    AJ

 * I love this plugin, it works great for us and would recommend it to anyone – 
   look at it in operation at [http://www.brandedbiker.co.uk](http://www.brandedbiker.co.uk)–
   you wont see any adware..just good, short and well optimised code.
 * Great piece of work
