What's new

Several new enhancements were developed to better optimize sites. Of special note, The Optimize Google Fonts feature was expanded to include all fonts and provision for special handling of other font files ig required. The Reduce Unused JavaScript feature was further enhanced to include modules, but also to exclude modules that are dependent on critical files/script. For most users this change should go smoothly, all the ones we've tested did but a few sites may need to reconfigure this feature to get the best results from this change. Please see CHANGELOG for details.

Developed and tested on up to PHP 8.1.11 and Joomla! 3.10.11|4.2.3
