Understanding AO and PageSpeed Insights

    My mobile score on PageSpeed Insights is in the 90s, but I’m being ticked for six long tasks I find confusing. They are

    URL                                           Start Time   Duration

https://www.example.com                       1,224 ms     124 ms

/analytics.js(www.google-analytics.com)       2,304 ms     101 ms

https://www.example.com                       1,125 ms     99 ms

…js/autoptimize_a0d45bc….js(www.example.com)  2,430 ms     78 ms

Unattributable                                1,407 ms     70 ms

https://www.example.com                       1,348 ms     59 ms

    Instead of three references to my site URL plus the one parenthesized in the AO reference, I assumed I would only be seeing the AO reference plus GA plus the unattributed one.

    My settings are:

    JavaScript
Optimize JavaScript Code?
Aggregate JS-files?

CSS
Optimize CSS Code?
Aggregate CSS-files?
Also aggregate inline CSS?
Generate data: URIs for images?
Inline all CSS?

Exclude CSS from Autoptimize: wp-content/cache/, wp-content/uploads/, admin-bar.min.css, dashicons.min.css

HTML
Optimize HTML Code?
Keep HTML comments?

MISC
Save aggregated script/css as static files? 
Minify excluded CSS and JS files? 
Enable 404 fallbacks? 
Also optimize for logged in editors/ administrators? 
Enable configuration per post/ page?

Images - none checked
Critical CSS - nothing

Extra
Remove Google fonts
Remove emojis

Preload specific requests (two above the fold front page images)

    I’m also using a caching plugin, taking care not to duplicate AO settings.

    Is this many site URL task loadings in addition to AO normal, or is there some AO setting I’m missing which would reduce my number of long tasks?

    Thanks,

    no, afraid there’s nothing you can do in AO to have less JS tasks apart saintandrews.

    further clarification (I was in a hurry yesterday ?? ): JavaScript tasks are triggered by WordPress core, your theme & plugins. AO can combine & defer that JS, but in the end it is executed and thus it will impact the page’s performance (and specifically KPI’s such as total blocking time/ time to interactive/ first input delay

    hope this clarifies,
