What's new

Several key improvements were made in this release aimed at better optimization. Most notable are to the robustness of the Reduce Unused JavaScript feature, so it doesn't break the functionality and will work without trouble while avoiding need to exclude JavaScript files. Additionally, we reduced over-inlining in the Optimize CSS Delivery feature to improve FCP and LCP. All are encouraged to update.

Developed and tested on up to PHP 8.4.14 and Joomla! 6.0.0
