Your theme and each plugin add several JavaScript and CSS files to your webpages and each of them requires a while to be handled, downloaded and executed by browsers.
This makes your website heavy and slow. Even using a static cache plugin, for fresh viewers (and page-speed rankers!) what matters is the webpage weight and how fast it completes loading all of its scripts.
The LCweb optimizer is a resource-friendly solution to merge and optimize them: dramatically reducing the number of HTTP requests your webpages perform and speeding-up their rendering!
You can also decice where scripts have to be used in the website. Do you only have a gallery in a specific page? Why loading its scripts everywhere. Optimize every bit, in the simplest way possible.
Extra features: HTML code minifier and cache-friendly file headers!
PS: it is also compatible with other WP optimizers (Redis, W3 total cache, WP-super-cache, etc), offering a great combo to optimize wordpress all-around!
