 * When using minification for css, the plugin creates the minified css files in
   the location they exist versus in the uploads/siteground-optimizer-assets folder
   like the js minification does.
 * For security, we use source control and we change the permissions of the site
   to not allow writing to any location other than the uploads folder so writing
   the .min.css files to the location where the .css files are in the codebase wouldnt
   work.
 * Can you fix the css minification to write files into the uploads folder?

 * There are multiple reasons why we’re placing the css file there including but
   not limited to relative paths inside the css files themselves. I am sorry but
   we’re not making changes in that mechanism because that would cause a lot of 
   issues.

 * Thanks for responding so quickly. Not sure why that hadn’t crossed my mind, and
   you’re right, that would cause a lot of problems!
