Getting Started with PST Manager
PST Status
PST is controlled by two switches and modes at the top of the "Basic Configuration" pane for each profile.
PST
This switch controls ON/OFF for PST. When set to OFF, settings made in PST Manager will not be active.
Resource Monitoring
This switch controls ON/OFF for PST Resource Monitoring Service ("watch"). This service monitors the selected profile in real time, and directs optimization strategies according to resource changes. Refer to "Document: (watch)" for more information.
Mode
Select from Smart-mode, Expert-mode, or Developer-mode.
Resource Optimization Settings
Optimization Settings
These settings allow you to change the types and paths of resources you want to exclude from resource optimization, as well as the compression level of images.
In the "Optimization Strategy", enable/disable the three checkboxes for images, CSS, and JS by checking ON/OFF. For the "Image Compression Level", you can set a value from 1 to 100. The lower the value, the more compressed the image and smaller the file size, but the quality of the image will be lower. Under "Exclude", you can specify directories to be excluded from PST optimization, please set the absolute path from the DocumentRoot of the profile. When you change the settings, click the "Save" button to save the configuration.
Resource Optimization
Resource optimization is performed for all resources based on the "Resource Optimization" settings above. Note, if you want to optimize a specific resource on a priority basis, click ON for "Optimize resources with highest priority", specify the path to the folder or file, and execute "Optimize Resources".
Removing Optimized Resources
These settings allow you specify a period of time and optimized resources, and remove them.
Removing Optimized Resources by Specifying a Time Period
Specify the year, month, day, hour, and minute. Remove optimized resources older than the specified period by clicking the "Remove Resources Older Than " button. The creation date of the optimized resource is the same as the creation date of the original resource.
Removing Optimized Resources by Specifying the Resources
Enter the path to the folder or file you want to remove and click "Remove Already Optimized Resources". Note, if you want to remove only the resources excluded from optimization, click ON for "Remove only resources excluded from optimization", and then execute "Remove Already Optimized Resources".
PST Manager FAQ
I changed the image compression level [quality], do I need to execute optimization again?
Yes, you need to execute "Optimize Resources" again.
When you change the image compression level in the resource optimization settings, you need to re-optimize the existing optimized resources. First, specify the directory (enter slash / if all) in the "Remove optimized resources by specifying resources", and execute by clicking the "Remove Optimized Resources" button. Then, specify the directory (enter slash / if all) in "Resource Optimization" and execute by clicking the "Optimize Resources" button.

I changed the "exclude" optimization settings, do I need to execute optimization again?
No, it is not necessary to execute "Optimize Resources" again, but you do need to execute "Remove Optimized Resources".
When you change the "exclude" setting for images, CSS, and JavaScript in the resource optimization settings, save the settings at first, then specify the directory (enter slash / if all) in the "Remove optimized resources by specifying resources", check ON for "Remove only the resources excluded from optimization", and execute by clicking the "Remove Optimized Resources" button.
