How to sync with plugins update after I have done manual optimizations?

Create a local repository in Git (or SVN) for the plugin, and each time an update happens:

  • merge the changes into your adjusted version,
  • test it in your local copy of the production site,
  • then push your updated code to your site.

But much better would it be to send your improvements to the plugin author, so she can use that in the main code. Keeping improvements secret is not the spirit of Open Source.
