Minifying CSS and Javascript?

[cahoskins]

Pagespeed insights says my site (antgear.com) has a bunch of unminified JS and CSS files. Some of them are located inside of plugins and also a couple in the bootscore theme. Is there a good way to minify those files?

Bootscore's and it's plugin assets are already minified. But, of course, everything what you have installed on your site adds something to your frontend. WooCommerce for example enqueues 4 CSS and 7 JS files which increases file request. You need a plugin that fetches all .css and .js files and combine them into one minified .js and .css file.

There are several plugins for that, bootscore.me uses https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/. The settings might have an impact to your site, and they must be fine-tuned to your individual needs. You can check this (outdated) post what settings are used on bootscore.me https://bootscore.me/blog/new-plugin-new-feature-speed/.
