Hi,
I have a just a small question about Compile SCSS to CSS feature.
Is it necessary to use it if I did some modifications inside custom.css file?
is there any impact on website performances?
Because description says this "Turn off this option if your site is in production mode."
See here : http://prntscr.com/10yycsy
Thanks

Hi Laurent. You just need to understand what this option does and then you can easily determine when you need to enable or disable it. This option binds css to template settings. If you disable this then things like color settings and others will not work. It is assumed that when development is complete this option should be disabled as no further changes are required. This will also protect the site from accidental changes to the settings.
Hello Laurent
It is recommended because when your site is in production. Because it converts sass code to CSS. When you are in production, turning it off will make your site load faster and you will be able to see the change.
Best regards
OK so this option has to be enabled only during development mode/process?
OK so this option has to be enabled only during development mode/process?
Enable this option when your site is ready to be live.
ok but the tool tip says this : "Turn off this option if your site is in production mode."
I'm so sorry but I don't understand nothing :
what's wrong?
I am saying the same. Keep it off when your site is in production. Turn it on when your site is live.
euhh for me, production and live are the same ;-)
so based on that, when scss option has to be turned on and off?
ok I see, so :
last question : performances will be equal or better with option disabled?
I have not tested. But no one bothers you to check. I don't use template settings at all and this option is always disabled. Since it is not possible to use several template styles with different settings. Therefore, I prefer css coding.
I understand perfectly, thank you again for your feedback and your advice.
have a nice day

@pavel : I don't understand when you say : "Since it is not possible to use several template styles with different settings"
I have tested to duplicate helix style and If assign style 1 to XX pages and style 2 to XX pages, I can set differents colors etc for each pages..so works fine. what's wrong?
Hi. The fact is that part of the settings are compiled inline in Head. These settings will work with different template styles on different pages. But why do you need an extra code in Head? It is bad for performance.
Another part of the settings is compiled from SCSS to template.css file. This file is the one for all template styles. Thus, it will only be the code of the template style that you saved the last.
As far as I understand, in HU 2.0 this problem will be solved. But not in the current HU.
ok undertstood, thanks again ;-)
