Minify setting causing ‘defer parsing of JavaScript’ alert

    Hello,
    I was having extremely slow page load times, but after activating your plugin and using the minify ‘auto’ settings I was able to get the load time under 3 seconds.

    However, now when I check GTmetrix, I am receiving a high priority alert to ‘defer parsing of JavaScript.’ All of the items listed under this follow this format: “website.com/wp-content/cache/minify/XXXXX.js”

    Using the ‘auto’ minify setting has also made Avada theme’s Fusion Builder Live unusable. If I change the minify setting to ‘manual’ I am able to use the theme’s editor again, but the load time goes back up to 6+ seconds and the page score goes back down.

    I am also currently getting support from Avada Support about this topic, and they asked if I could contact you about the issue. I apologize in advance, as I am not the most knowledgeable about these technical issues.

    Thank you,
    Steph

    Hello @skg5353

    I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
    When using Minify on Auto, since you are experiencing the issue with Avada theme’s Fusion Builder Live, you should exclude Avada theme JS and CSS files from being minified in Performance>Minify, Advanced sub-box, “Never minify the following JS files:” and “Never minify the following CSS files:”
    However, since you are also experiencing Defer parsing of JavaScript issue, I suggest that you enable Manual Minify and add JS/CSS files manually and in propper, order using our Help Wizard in the top of the Performance>Minify page (it appears when manual minify is selected)
    I hope this helps!

    I am having the same issue.

    Manuel mode is not working for me, cause I use another plugin to unload unused assets, which creates unique files dynamically after changes.
    I tried it, but nothing was minified.

    The help wizard recognized the original files and not the ones of the other plugin.
    In auto mode it works.

    Is it possible to use regex in the manual mode?

    Would be nice to have more defer/async control in the future ??

    Greetings

    Update: The problem was, that I added the files to the child theme. They have to be added in the parent theme to make it work.
