Is there some kind of relationship between the backoffice endpoints and Smidge being able to create its cache files? Using Umbraco 10.7.0 In Startup.cs, when I comment out u.UseBackOfficeEndpoints(), then Smidge does not create files in Smidge\Cache gzip folder.

Hello @Frank , Smidge is a popular asset management library in ASP.NET applications used to handle the bundling and minification of CSS and JavaScript files. It helps improve the performance of web applications by reducing the number of HTTP requests and optimizing the size of assets delivered to the client. There is no direct relationship between Smidge and backoffice endpoints in the context of creating cache files. Smidge primarily focuses on optimizing the delivery of static assets (CSS and JavaScript) to improve the performance of your website, and it doesn't directly interact with backoffice endpoints. while there isn't a direct relationship between Smidge and backoffice endpoints, the way you configure and use Smidge in your ASP.NET application can impact the performance of both the public-facing and administrative parts of your application by optimizing asset delivery and cache management. Properly configuring Smidge and ensuring effective cache control for assets can contribute to a better overall user experience for all parts of your application.
