    Hi,

    If you are doing development, involving editing css or js files, you should never use any plugin that minifies files, and you should never be behind a cdn like cloudflare for example, without having some rule to bypass cache.

    Furthermore, all your css and js files need a query param, that changes after each change.
    I like to use filemtime on php to match the version to last modified date of the file itself for example.
    You should not just use time() or similar, because later your url will keep changing and not be cached.

    None of these things are related to any plugin, so for development, just go ahead and disable all cache and minification for all layers (plugins, server side, cdn, etc) and only enable those things on production.
