Can you post an example of comments you saw?
Oh, those comments are left untouched in order to respect the license of individual 3rd party libraries you’re using. Generally they should not affect your page speed score. Check your site again for any media files that are not minified, perhaps some are printed directly and not via WordPress’s enqueueing functions.
Thanks for the response.
I just double checked. The only file that was “complained” by Google PageSpeed was the mentioned file above (the one generated by BWM).
You can see this by going to https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
Then enter: https://www.tripletremelo.com/
Try turning on Friendly minify feature. Can you post the PageSpeed complaint here? I can’t install that tool at the moment.
Did you mean the friendly minify URLs feature? If so, I couldn’t enable this because whenever I do this, my page refers to non-existent CSS/JS files.
For example, it refers to https://www.tripletremelo.com/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/cache/minify-b1-dashicons-2adbb1833811cfd5c409e3abe762a049.css?ver=1416269672 but the CSS file doesn’t exist (got a page not found error).
Anyway, I usually just run the analysis online, so never had to install anything. Here’s the PageSpeed complaint:
=====
Compacting JavaScript code can save many bytes of data and speed up downloading, parsing, and execution time.
Minify JavaScript for the following resources to reduce their size by 1.1KiB (2% reduction).
Minifying https://www.tripletremelo.com/…ber-tweeting/js/custom.js&ver=1415601409 could save 1.1KiB (2% reduction) after compression.
=====
Note that the URL above was truncated, but when I mouse over it, there’s a tooltip that displays the full URL “https://www.tripletremelo.com/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/min/?f=wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js,wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js,wp-content/plugins/anti-spam/js/anti-spam.js,wp-content/themes/organic_news/js/jquery.loadPosts.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/jquery.charcount.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/jquery.charcount.init.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/jquery-ui.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/jquery.calendrical.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/jquery.block.ui.js,wp-content/plugins/member-tweeting/js/custom.js&ver=1415601409”
Thanks
I’m not sure why PageSpeed is complaining, but that resource is compressed for sure (content-encoding is gzip). The size reduction is negligible so I think you can ignore this complaint.
It says “Minifying https://www.tripletremelo.com/…anic_news-child/style.css&ver=1416853341 could save 624B (2% reduction) after compression.”, so it is referring to minification, not compression.
You’re right the reduction is not significant, but the warning is distracting because we will always have to double check to see if it’s a real warning or neglectable warning. So ideally, we should get rid of the warning so that it’s easier to focus on the other issues.
Thanks
Oh, those are directly printed scripts/styles, which BWP Minify won’t be able to handle. I guess you’d have to live with that or try W3 Total Cache, it can minify virtually everything.
