When I was optimizing a site I threw all Enfold files in the FileOptimizer tool and found that a lot of images , JS and CSS has excess bytes in them. Even without minifying it saves up quite a bit.
I would love it if the next version of Enfold would use optimized files for its JS and CSS.
See new filesizes of top compressed files.

I know some files are from plugins like layerslider, but when it comes to quick optimizing: all bytes count :) Especially when it is just a click of a button.
It would also be helpfull to run ALL PNG and JPG images through this tool (Guetzli optimized). There is a lot to be gained here with just a single click in FileOptimizer…
Performance-wise it would not mean the world. Caching would already fix a lot of this. But since it is so simple to do I really recommend that source Enfold-files are optimized every release.
Hey Bas,
Unfortunately, it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However, if it’s really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)
Best regards,
Basilis
