Safe Rollout on a Live Website
Recommended Rollout Order for Production Websites
For production websites, it is safer to enable optimization features gradually instead of activating everything at once. A staged rollout process makes it easier to identify which specific setting caused a layout issue, script conflict, or functionality problem if something breaks.
Recommended rollout order:
Enable

Enable
Image Optimization.Test images on desktop and mobile.

Enable basic
JS Optimization.Test forms, checkout, popups, consent banner, search, and menus.
Enable basic
CSS Optimization.Test layout, hero areas, sliders, sticky header, and footer.
Only then test stronger CSS or script delay options one by one.
