How Dependency Minification works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin takes all scripts and stylesheets that have been added via wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style
and automatically concatenates and minifies them into logical groups. For example, scripts in the footer get grouped
together and styles with the same media (e.g. print) get minified together. Minification is done via WP-Cron in order
to prevent race conditions and to ensure that the minification process does not slow down page responses.
This is a reincarnation and rewrite of the Optimize Scripts plugin,
which this plugin now supersedes.
Features:
Minified sources are stored in the WP Options table so no special filesystem access is required.
Endpoint for minified requests is at /_minified, which can be configured.
Admin page for taking inventory of minified scripts and stylesheets, with methods for expiring or purging the cached data.
Dependencies which must not be minified may be excluded via the dependency_minification_excluded filter.
Dependencies hosted on other domains are by default excluded, but this behavior can be changed by filtering the default_exclude_remote_dependencies option via the dependency_minification_options filter, or on a case-by-case basis via the filter previously mentioned.
By default excludes external scripts from being concatenated and minified, but they can be opted in via the dependency_minification_excluded filter.
