Shared options
Site mode
  • Test mode to use when setting up the extension. Will ensure errors are shown, images, style and script libraries are re-created at every page access
  • Live mode to use when the extension is ready for production. Will turn off error messages and cache images, styles and scripts
  • Advanced keep access to all parameters hidden in the previous modes
Bootstrap compatibility If you are using a Bootstrap template, select which version of Bootstrap your template is compatible with. It will ensure the extension outputs the proper classes for the Bootstrap version you are using.

The Joomla option loads the Bootstrap version packaged with Joomla (which is the default behavior). All other options WILL NOT load Bootstrap.

The extension can function without the Bootstrap framework. Select None
Show errors Will show the errors encountered while creating the output (mostly during thumbnail creation), if any
Load SYWicon font If you are showing icons with prefix SYWicon-, loads the specific icon font for proper showing on the public side of the site. If the icon font is already loaded on the public side of the site, this option will be ignored. Set to 'no' will improve page load if no icons are shown
Joomla 4
Load Font Awesome
If you are showing icons with prefix fa- or icon-, loads the icon font packaged with Joomla 4. If the icon font is already loaded on the public side of the site, this option will be ignored. Set to 'no' will improve page load if no icons are shown
Pictures
Reset pictures Whether to re-create the image thumbnails every time the page is loaded or not.
'No' will improve server performance once the module is properly configured and ready for prime time
Thumbnails cache path The path for the thumbnails created (by default, in the media folder under /thumbnails/adp).
It is possible to save the files to the temporary folder of the Joomla configuration or the /cache folder (/media/cache under Joomla 4)
Header files
Joomla 4
Lazyload stylesheets
It is possible to lazy load some stylesheets like icon fonts. It is a feature included in Joomla 4 but it must be supported by the site's template on the public side.

You can enable lazy loading for all Simplify Your Web extensions at once and even add support for it if the template does not. To do so, you need to enable the feature in the SimplifyYourWeb extensions System plugin
Reset header files Re-creates the cached stylesheets after style modifications have be made.
'No' will improve server performance once the module and/or plugin are properly configured and ready for prime time
Mobile
Breakpoint The screen size under which the page is considered turning into mobile mode (it uses CSS media queries)

Stylesheets are cached in the /cache folder. Deleting the cached files from the administrator console (System -> Clear Cache) prevents resetting the Reset Header Files parameter to 'yes' when changes are made.

However, it is no longer possible to manually remove the files from the console under Joomla 4, as the files are now cached in the /media/cache folder.
