My tech guys tried the minify function of W3 Total Cache as mentioned in the article. Again, it destroyed the template.
1. Do you know why Salient breaks with every optimization plugin we can try ? 2. Do you know how to optimize JSS and CSS files to improve site speed without breaking everything ?
I am already seeing the Autoptimize plugin in there ?. Did you deactivate it and configure W3Total Cache. Also not all the plugin options will work as some are server dependent.
Could you allow us to log in to your website backend dashboard so we can check on this for you more?. We are gonna need the username and password of admin user as well as the login url.
Other plugins were not effective at all. We tried to change their settings, enabling and disabling different optimization functions. But every time we managed to increase the speed, the template was broken.
I just had a close look. The Rewrite rules are not enabled on your server which is causing the issue. Below is the error from W3Total Cache :
W3 Total Cache error:It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. Please verify that all configuration files are included in the configuration file (and that you have reloaded / restarted nginx). Unfortunately minification will not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server.

Hi,
Since my site is very slow, and PageSpeed Insight encourages me to optimize the JS, I tried several optimization plugins, such as this one : https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/merge-minify-refresh/
Problem : all of them destroy the site design. They do not make great with Salient.
Question : do you know a optimization plugin that works with Salient ?
Thanks
Hey,
Try using the Optimization plugins recommended in this Article http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ and check if that makes a difference .

Hello Tahir
Thank you for your feedback.
Indeed, we tried different plugins to accelerate the website (Autoptimize as well).
Merge-minify-refresh (https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/merge-minify-refresh/) was the most effective, it increased significantly page load speed, but the Salient template structure was completely broken.
Other plugins were not effective at all. We tried to change their settings, enabling and disabling different optimization functions. But every time we managed to increase the speed, the template was broken.
Here's the access to our backend:
https://www.myprepa.fr/wp-admin
(we have a 2-step authentification)
1) admin / 1ZWT2qNItw
2) admin / P*lPoiUf)tYAsK#2Uq0!1JRP
With best regards

Gonna escalate the Ticket to the Developer so he may add in a response.
