    first of all, thank you for this wonderful plugin. I have used this plugin on my first and second website, and it work fantastic. However in my third website, it not working with same behavior like my other two website.

    So i use different theme at my third site and i notice all javascript except wordpress jquery, isn’t autoptimize. Which is weird, because at my other site, this jqeury is included in autoptimize.js.

    Maybe it is because at my third site, this WordPress jquery is loaded at footer, not header? if it so, can you tell me how to autoptimize this because i don’t know how to move the wordpress bundled jquery back to header.

    Thanks ??

    hi crovinca;
    autoptimize doesn’t really care if jquery is in head or footer, if it sees any JS referenced in the HTML it will try to aggregate & minify it (except when the option “look only in head” is checked, off course).

    now assuming you don’t have “look only in head” checked, the question is why AO isn’t aggregating jquery.js. most important reason for this is if jquery isn’t loaded from your own URL, but from a CDN (e.g. ajax.googleapis.com or cdnjs.cloudflare.com or …). in that case the only thing you can do is dequeue the external jquery and enqueue the one shipped with your wordpress.

    another possibility is your theme (or a plugin) is loading JS very, very, very late, which results in AO not “seeing” it, which you could confirm by toggling plugins and/ or briefly switching themes.

    hope this helps,
    frank

    Hello, Frank thanks for the explanation. I think its because my theme load js very late… I dont have “look only in head” checked, and the jquery itself is WordPress based not from external… I will change my theme now.

    Thanks so much for the helps! _/|\_
