Spectra Blocks and SiteGround cache issue

Hello @jairoochoa,?

Thank you for the report. 

I’ve attempted to recreate the issue on my end, but the different Spectra blocks displayed correctly even when all the JS and CSS frontend optimization features were enabled.

The issue might be tied to more than one plugin or to a specific usage of the Spectra blocks, which, unfortunately, I was unable to recreate.

As a troubleshooting step, you could try disabling the frontend optimization features one by one until you identify which one is causing the problem.

If you’re experiencing this issue on a site hosted on a SiteGround server, I would recommend submitting a ticket in the Help Desk for further investigation.

Hi @kuzmanstoyanov

At least we have detected this issue at 3 websites.
All of then failed since last update of Spectra and simply disabling CSS and JS minifying and sites ran properly again.

I wonder if @cesardelafuente could fix his website doing the same as me.

Thanks

Hola, en mi caso hice lo que recomendó @jairoochoa, pero fui deshabilitando una opción a la vez. La unica opción que provoca el error en mi sitio web es Frontend > JS >”Minimizar los archivos JavaScript“.

Ahora todo funciona bien, con esa opción deshabilitada.
Saludos.

@cesardelafuente you are correct, disable Minify JavaScript Files in the speed optimizer frontend caching page and now spectra and everything else is working fine again. thank you

All,

Our two-cents worth … depending on the plugins or theme you’re using, minifying CSS, JS, or HTML files using Speed Optimizer may not be a best choice.

Details: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/notice-for-avada-users-cs-js-html-minification/

Most files provided by plugins, themes, etc. are already minified so applying another minification layer can be counter-productive.

We have disabled Speed Optimizer’s minification features and have experienced no issues. In fact, our SEO and Speed Scores actually went up.

Note: Speed Optimizer is a great tool and helps in many other areas.

Cheers!???

Hello @jairoochoa,

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue on your end.

As already mentioned in the topic, it is common for most plugins and themes to already include their own minification, so implementing this feature from the plugin as well – may cause issues.

There are also instances where a minification, even if only applied by a plugin, can interfere with the site’s functionality.

This is the exact reason why we have incorporated the Exclude option for most of our Frontend features in the plugin. This allows you to maintain the benefits of these features while still excluding any elements that are not compatible.

You can easily exclude specific scripts using the drop-down menu in the Exclude section. In case the script is not in the suggestion list, you can also check the guide here on how to use the custom filters we have created.

Thanks @gpetrova
From my point of view these settings should be done only on one place instead of on every plugin or Gutenberg block.
It became a mess to configure minification in a dozen of screens.
