because AO caches optimized CSS/ JS, but does not do page caching and you do want page caching as the helps improve “server response time” tremendously 🙂

@optimizingmatters It’s strange that before now such a notification did not appear in the plugin. So what is the best cache plugin for interacting with Autoptimize?
well, the recommendation to use a page caching plugin has featured on the Autoptimize main page here on ww.wp.xz.cn for ages, but the check & notification indeed is new 🙂
I would recommend KeyCDN Cache Enabler (easy to use, efficient, well written and actively developed) or WP Super Cache (the grand-daddy of page caching, still maintained by the original developer who now works for Automattic).
@optimizingmatters What should be the optimal settings for KeyCDN Cache Enabler and WP Super Cache so that they do not conflict with Autoptimize?
no conflicts that I can think of for WPSC, disable HTML opt. for KeyCDN, that should be it 🙂
@optimizingmatters do you mean that I shouldn’t switch on the option “Minify HTML in cached pages excluding inline CSS and JavaScript” in the Cache Enabler by KeyCDN? In general, what should be the settings for this plugin to work well with yours? Because I installed it, and there are no ticks everywhere

correct

that’s keycdn cache enabler territory, so not my specialty really, but in general I would suggest to leave all unset except for “expiry”, and I would set that to 8h. reason; some plugins that work with forms or AJAX request add a hidden “nonce” in the HTML and such a nonce expires after x hourse. if a page is cached “forever” (i.e. not expiring), the nonce becomes invalid and the form/ AJAX call won’t work any more.
hope this helps,
