Overview​

This update adds multiple small improvements, conflict fixes and greater efficiency for the PHP handlers. Additionally, a new feature is available via the settings page to disable lazy loading for the first post attachment (Above the fold / LCP) image of thread pages.

This is a new recommendation reported by both GTMetrix and Page Speed Insights, and can affect speed scoring. As such, this addon has been updated to reflect this metric.

Further, several key compatibility issues have been added for [Nulumia] SEO & Index Tools and [XON] Lazy Image Loading.

Overview​

This update fixes a number of bugs reported by users, including PHP errors when using the TinyMinify library. Also, a new visual header has been added to the settings page, with quicklinks for speed testing tools.

A note on using <!CDATA> tags
Some users have reported front-end breakage when using the HTMLMinifier library and when CDATA tags are present. The following is an example of CDATA script:
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
alert("Hello World");
]]>
</script>

While a method is currently being worked on to fix this, it's still recommended to disable the "Minify script tags" option. A solution will be noted in a future release when added.
