The plugin is supposed to make local URLs relative, but by mistake it also makes external URLs relative, thus it breaks the website. This is how it doesn’t work: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js becomes /ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js , which is basically http://yourwebsite.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js totally. i just spent 3 hours finding out why things broke (on someone elses site where i didnt have access to the wp-config) i cant even begin to start why this is just a bad bad idea sorry
