 * Thanks for this great plugin. I have one issue though.
    I had to exclude a couple
   of css files from merging otherwise my site was broken. I have noticed that although
   those files are being ignored by FVM, their version query strings have been stripped.
   May I please ask to disable this behavior. Because after the theme updates, those
   updated css files will not be downloaded by clients due to *client-side* caching.

 * Hi,
 * You can prevent that by removing the filter that does that, anywhere on your 
   theme or via a custom plugin.
    `remove_filter('style_loader_src', 'fastvelocity_remove_cssjs_ver',
   10, 2);`
 * Removing query strings from static resources is a recommendation by google and
   gtmetrix and using query strings, may prevent some browsers or cdn services from
   ever caching that content… so beware.
