    This part in the example: /{PROXY:TYPE}/{PROXY:URL}

    I’m just absolutely lost. I can’t get it right as I’m not entirely sure what the hell it wants from me! Please Please help?!

    Hi 3dseo,

    The custom proxy URL option is intended for experts. It would enable to use a custom proxy system to serve resources, for example a CDN. For most users it could be left default (blank). WordPress (PHP) will then proxy resources.

    To improve the performance of the proxy it is possible to specifically pre-configure the resources that will be proxied. The resources will then be loaded directly from the cache location and potentially via a CDN so that the performance is the same as for any ‘static resource’.

    I understand all that, definitely. Much appreciated taking the time to explain it.

    I’m still getting the syntax incorrect even with a CDN address. /sigh

    It would be best to leave the field empty. The field isn’t intended for a CDN URL. It is intended for a custom proxy URL that should include specific parameters.

    The parameters {PROXY:TYPE}/{PROXY:URL} are replaced with the type (CSS or javascript) and URL (e.g. https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js).

    The proxy should then return an optimized response. This requires custom logic. An option would be for example Nginx+Lua or a Node.js proxy server.
