1. Isn’t the whole point of the HTML compression more than just the CSS & JS files? It pretty much makes a mockery of what your plugin is trying to do!
2. I’m pretty sure this could be done pretty easily with a htaccess rule using regex?
You still haven’t addressed how I can test this with a fresh install somewhere (given that it’s the GoogleBot that’s seeing the issue).
Frankly your attitude when it comes to a potential ranking issue for your customers is surprising. You don’t seem to be concerned at all!

Hmm, I’m not sure I understand your statement. The primary role of Comet Cache is a page caching plugin, which helps reduce the amount of PHP processing and WordPress database queries executed on each request, which thereby speeds up WordPress.
HTML Compression (and JS/CSS compression) are an entirely separate thing and many WordPress caching plugins don’t even provide such a feature. In fact there are separate plugins, like Autoptimize, that are geared specifically towards HTML, CSS, and JS compression / caching.

It could not. If you’d like to prove me wrong by providing such a snippet of .htaccess code, I’d be more than happy to take a closer look.

I have addressed it, here.

I’m sorry if you feel that way. My job as a plugin developer is to provide and maintain a plugin that provides a specific set of features. My job is not to provide consultation services for any specific site or provide specific help for your specific set of requirements. That would require working with a developer who can provide that sort of service. The scope of our support for the Pro version can be found in our Support Policy.
