Hummingbird Performance – Cache & Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals | Critical CSS | Minify CSS | Defer CSS Javascript | CDN

I use this plugin on nearly every website I manage, with the exception of a few legacy sites I inherited that were already running different solutions. As a long-time PRO user, I am thrilled to recommend this now-free version to everyone. The only area with room for improvement is the asset optimization/CSS combination. It can be a bit complex to configure, and the results aren’t always ideal. For instance, when using Elementor for posts, many small CSS files are generated. If the plugin combines these—along with CSS from plugins that only run on specific subpages—the main stylesheet becomes excessively large. I have also occasionally encountered issues where font icons fail to display correctly due to asset caching. Despite these minor drawbacks, this is undoubtedly one of the best tools I have worked with. The support team is fantastic: super fast and incredibly helpful. I almost always receive immediate responses via chat, ranging from quick advice to custom code snippets to resolve specific issues. Highly recommended!

Плагін працює досить коректно . Помітив приріс швидкості навіть в версії не платній , що свідчить про правильний підхід при розробці плагіна. З часом куплю повну версію , цікаво які побачу показники .

I installed it on a client’s site a couple of years ago and haven’t touched the site since. Today I needed to move it to a new hosting provider, and every attempt to do something in the admin panel resulted in a 503 error. I downloaded an archive through the hosting control panel and couldn’t understand why a small company’s site was taking up almost 2GB. After unpacking the archive, I found a folder with this plugin’s cache, which was taking up about 98% of the space. I’ve made a note for myself to never use it again.

Nice plugin, many options. The only down is that you really have to verify your site regularly, and make changes in the settings if you see anything in the frontend not working. But this is a good plugin, recommended.
