# Optimizing HTML and CSS not working?

 * Hello,
 * I have installed Autoptimize plugin and I enabled “Optimize CSS code” and “Optimize
   HTML code”.
    I saved the changes, emptied cache and tried to hard refresh. I 
   even opened a private window.
 * But I can see in page source that the code has not been changed, it doesn’t seem
   to be working.
 * Am I doing something wrong?
 * Thanks in advance

 * either a page caching issue (make sure to clear all page caches you might have)
   or else a plugin/theme conflict of some kind (disable/ re-enable plugins and 
   if need be change themes briefly to try to find the culprit) cyshield.
 * hope this helps,

 * Hello,
 * You were right. It was probably a caching issue.
 * Thanks a lot for the help,
    Enjoy the rest of your day
