Description
WordPress by default adds query strings “?” or “&” to the static resources (CSS & JS) files used in the site. This plugin will help to remove the query stings from all the static URLs used in the site, thus it will significantly improve site speed scores in services like PageSpeed, YSlow, Pingdoom and GTmetrix.
Resources with a “?” or “&” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers, and moving the query string and encode the parameters into the URL will increase your WordPress site performance significant.
