The Options page is where you configure all the settings for all the various features of JCH Optimize such
as excluding files from the Combine CSS and JavaScript files
feature. To get to the
Options page click the Options button to the right of the toolbar when in the
administrator component.
The settings on the Options page are categorized into tabs and on each tab the settings relating to a
particular feature are grouped into <fieldset>
s visualized by a box with a heading on top.
For now there are 11 tabs, General, Combine Files CSS,
JavaScript, Page Cache, Media, Http/2
Push, CDN, Optimize Images,
Miscellaneous, Permissions.
On this page you can modify any of the settings for any features found on the various tab then click the Save or Save & Close button to the left of the toolbar at the top of the page. Closing this page redirects you back to the JCH Optimize Component.

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

-
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.
Also on the General tab, this section allows us to exclude pages of the website from optimizations. You can confirm that the page is excluded by checking the HTML source of the page to see if it is optimized.
-

Menu selection
