Guess I’ll wait till all this is resolved, was looking forward to a good way to optimize cuz I have several CSS and JS loading. * [anotherhero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherhero/) * (@anotherhero) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-doesnt-work-1/#post-1212141) * [@corelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corelan/): it seems CSS/JS cache dirs haven’t been computed properly. And getcwd() returned ‘/’, this can be probably fixed with correct check of returned value. * The first issue was fixed in 0.5.9.2 * [xinfo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xinfo/) * (@xinfo) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-doesnt-work-1/#post-1212154) * [@anotherhero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherhero/) * even i get blank page with out error * but installation step 1 and 3 link lead to blank page only page 2 link i can see some option * [anotherhero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherhero/) * (@anotherhero) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-doesnt-work-1/#post-1212228) * [@xinfo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xinfo/): there shoudn’t be any links to step 1 or 3.
