*Combining JSS Files causes some wonky JQuery Errors.  And it makes about 1 - 9 ms of difference, so recommend disabling this feature.  In fact enabling anything beyond minify JS seems to cause wonky JS issues or break features.

*Clear Cache Button does just what it says.  But guess what?  It also starts the Preload Cache automatically.  So why is the Preload Cache Button there.  Because, pressing the Preload Cache Button clears the cache (or at least overwrites everything, so effectively the same as deleting or clearing everything first).

*Image Lazy Load feature may break images loaded with CSS (background images, etc.).  And also doesn't make a difference for performance with images loaded via CSS either.

Use WP Rocket and put up with it's lack of ability to let Admins know what's happening behind the scenes (IE cache files, caching progress, etc.), the silly buttons for cache clearing, etc, and the lack of messages warning what will happen when one changes a setting.  Again, all of the dings against WP Rocket are on the Admin side of things.  On the Google and End User side of things, they're spectacular.
