Hello,
Thank you for the detailed information.
We generally recommend avoiding CSS/JS combination unless you have a specific reason to use it. Modern HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 servers handle multiple requests efficiently. So if your website works correctly with CSS/JS Minify and JS Defer enabled, we would suggest keeping CSS Combine and JS Combine disabled rather than enabling them just to reduce the number of requests.
There is also no universal list of WoodMart files that should be excluded from LiteSpeed optimization. WoodMart loads different scripts and styles depending on the enabled theme features and page content, so exclusions should normally be added only if a particular optimization causes an issue.
We recommend avoiding duplicate optimization features between WoodMart and your optimization plugin. For example, if you use image lazy loading provided by LiteSpeed Cache, you should keep WoodMart’s built-in image lazy loading disabled. The same principle applies to other overlapping optimization features — they should generally be handled by either the theme or the optimization plugin, but not both at the same time.
We can see some potential issues with your website’s current optimization setup. If you provide us with access to your website and allow us to test certain configurations, including temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme, we can perform a more detailed performance audit and provide specific recommendations.
Best Regards
.
