Miscellaneous Settings

You'll find the Miscellaneous Settings on the General tab. The various options in this section are as listed.

Download ID

When you subscribe for the Pro version you'll get a Download ID that is used to enable automatic updates of the pro version. To find your Download ID log into your account on JCH Optimize and navigate to My Account+Go to My Download ID to find your ID. You also need to save your Download ID here to optimize images.

[Note]Note

Your Download ID can change if you modify your contact information so if you're having trouble updating your pro version or optimizing images check your account to ensure you have the correct ID saved in the component.

Debug Plugin

You can enable this setting to provide a bit more information when you're trying to configure the component or troubleshoot an issue. This setting does the following things.

  • In the combined files the path of the origin file is printed above the contents.

  • Adds selected functions to the Joomla! Profiler.

  • Enables error reporting in the component.

Disable logged-in users

Enabled by default, this setting disables the JCH Optimize Plugin for logged-in users. This means the site will only be optimized for guest users. This minimizes conflicts with extensions such as editors and page-builders.
