Hi Damilare,

thanks so much for your reply. I now understand that the json files for the minify are needed. To understand why I’d like the option to prevent the minified .gz files being created, on my hosting .htaccess files aren’t processed, so I don’t have any rewrite rules to redirect from the .css to the .css.gz or from the .js to the .js.gz so it’s a waste of processor cycles to create those files. It doesn’t matter much performance wise that I’m not using them, as mod_deflate or mod_brotli will compress them the first time they’re served, and the upstream cache will cache the compressed version for subsequent requests. This seems a pretty valid config, and good reason to request the option to not generate the minify .gz files.

many thanks
Matt
