Manual minify and Page Speed

  • I am using W3 TC on my site and have configured it to minify manually so as to get render blocking JS below the line. It seems to have done that very well.

    When I do Google Page Speed tests on my posts I get good scores (+90/100) but get advised to minify JS, minify CSS and leverage browser caching. Obviously Google is not seeing that this is already done? Is this possible?

    Or is the minification in fact not in effect because I have selected manual minify?

    Would appreciate any advice or input.

    Great. That minify file in input thing is gone!

    You can now minify HTML

    Hmm.

    Except that it doesn’t look like HTML is getting minified.

    Did you clear all caches?

    Should I “purge”? I cleared 4 types.

    emptied all caches, have a look now

    Oops. Nopes.

    I also noticed that these files don’t look right:

    5. //cocoallegro.co.za/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/add-to-cart.min.js?ver=2.4.6
    6. //cocoallegro.co.za/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/jquery-blockui/jquery.blockUI.min.js?ver=2.70
    7. //cocoallegro.co.za/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/woocommerce.min.js?ver=2.4.6

    and hence these files are loaded separately and are not included in the minify file.

    Do they verify?

    Keep getting this error message:

    Recently an error occurred while creating the CSS / JS minify cache: File “/home/cocoalle/public_html/wp-content/cache/minify/000000/3085a/default.include-footer.0758d3.js” doesn’t exist. Hide this message

    Don’t know if its relevant

    You probably added that file in the JS File Management list.

    Remove it.

    Thread Starter Tradedog

    (@tradedog)

    It’s not there, was removed long ago

    Hmm.

    How about trying Autoptimize?

    That way your CSS will also be minified.

    I also see from the browser developer tools that you have a lot of JS errors so the files you are queuing up are in the wrong order. The order matters.

    Try disabling all Minification in W3TC and use it only for page cache and Autoptimize for Minify.

    Tried autop and had huge problems.

    How do I find out the correct order for the files?

    If I disable minification in w3 the all these files will end up above the fold again which is where I started.

    hmm.

    Do you then want me to take a look from your backend?

    I am getting 98/100 grades from Page Speed now despite the fact it thinks my resources are not minified and browser cache is not enabled. Do you think I am wasting my time fighting with this?

    Should I leave it as it is?

    Ramanan

    (@superpoincare)

    Yeah you get leave it at that except I think in the list of JS files, you need to put

    jquery.js
    jquery-migrate.min.js

    in positions 1 and 2 and others below.

    This is because other scripts depend on these two.
