FlyingPress automatically minifies JavaScript files, but in some cases, certain files may be skipped due to the following reasons:
Skipped Minification Conditions
The file size reduction after minification is less than 2KB
The reduction is less than 10% of the original size
The file is already minified (e.g., ends with
.min.js)
These conditions follow best practices recommended by Google Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights to avoid unnecessary processing.
Versioning for Cache Management
To improve caching, FlyingPress replaces the typical ?ver=plugin_version query string with a hash based on the file’s contents:
Instead of:
?ver=3.0.0You’ll see:
?ver=1689132345
This ensures browsers update the cached file only when its content changes.
Note: Minification does not apply to third-party scripts loaded from external domains.
