The drawback with Theme Minifier WP Plugin is that it just compress the theme files and the both the theme and plugins files as some plugins also use JavaScript and CSS Files, which require extra references in the header.WP Minifier on the other hand is more handy, this plugin grabs JS/CSS files in your generated WordPress page and passes that list to the Minify engine. The Minify engine then returns a consolidated, minified, and compressed script or style for WP Minify to reference in the WordPress header.
Once the plugin is activated, you can configure the settings under “Settings –> WP Minify”.The plugin also has a cache of its own.Under “Advanced Options” Javascript files to exclude from minify can also be included.
