Suite compatibility

As of v2.0.1, OAP is intentionally scoped down to avoid conflicts with the rest of the suite. Overlapping frontend optimizations have been moved to Critical Path CSS. OAP handles what the others don't.

"An anthology isn't a plugin that does everything.
It's a plugin that does the right things."
