only one solution; make sure you have less JavaScript to execute (by removing plugins that heavily rely on JS) I’m afraid.
I only have 13 plugins. Same for a year. The problem in GTMetrix has been for a week or a month.
GTMetrix provides such a solution. Could you explain it more simply? 😉

plugins (and themes) update and updates can introduce (perf) regressions I’m afraid :-/
re. the gtmetrix explanation; it’s too generic really, if you can share your site’s URL I can have a look and I might be able to give more specific explanations/ advice?

the biggest culprit is the embedded YouTube videos, try something like WP YouTube Lyte to try to avoid the big performance hit from YT maybe?
Done. Only 2 videos.
GTMetrix without changes.
I used this tutorial a year ago https://onlinemediamasters.com/autoptimize-settings/
However, I would like to restore the default settings for Autoptimize.
What’s the easiest way to do it?
ah, retested with AO disabled (by adding ?ao_noptimize=1 to the URL) and it’s … your countdown timer 🙂

OK. 😉 I will write to them.
And my question for the future about AO defaults?
the old defaults were “aggregate JS” and “aggregate CSS” + “also aggregate inline CSS”
the new defaults (over a year already) are “don’t aggregate but defer JS” + “also defer inline JS” and not aggregating CSS (aggregating is usually not very helpful now that everyone is on HTTP/2) 🙂
There were more changes here.
render blocking, pictures …
I mean the ability to reset the entire plugin.
Eg deleting some *.cfg file
no, all (as with all WordPress plugins) is stored in the database (as WordPress options). deactivating + deleting the plugin (both from the dashboard) will normally remove all options though, so if you re-install you’ll have the (new) defaults one again 🙂
you’re welcome, feel free to leave a review of the plugin and support here! 🙂
