# Not minifying parent theme .css

 * Hello,
 * Using Litespeed cache plugin obviously. In GTMetrix waterfall, I noticed a peculiarity.
 * All my .css files have a url similar to “litespeed/cssjs/b13f2.css?4fb2c”, including
   child theme css. The one exception is for the parent theme’s css, which is not
   minified, and does not have the “litespeed/cssjs” path.
 * Essentially, the parent theme’s .css file is not being touched, not minified.
   I see options to exclude various items, but I don’t see any option to include
   missing items. I don’t see any options that could help me in the plugin, and 
   searching for this issue does not bring up any similar results.
 * I would like to request help solving the issue, thank you.
 * ———————
 * P.S. A suggestion for the plugin: Please allow lossless Webp! In the end, I decided
   not to use Litespeed for Webp, because the resulting images were too lossy for
   my liking. I would request an option for 100% lossless webp conversion. I have
   found another plugin that will do this for me, currently in the process of implementing,
   however, it would be nice to not have to use another plugin for this.
 * P.S. #2 I also decided to use a different Redis object cache plugin, my impression
   is that the Redis cache in Litespeed is noticeably slower than using a standalone
   redis cache plugin. That is to say, the initial/first cache delay when opening
   a page, appears to take longer using Litespeed’s version vs a standalone — not
   sure why. If this were looked into, I would prefer deleting the standalone and
   using Litespeed for everything.

   it will state the reason why it didn’t get minified
 * for image, I will pass it alone as feature request
 * for object cache ,could you please be more specific ?
 * how much longer it takes in compare to other ?
