Minify setting breaks the site functions

    After enabling minify settings, the menu stooped functioning. Along with that, the other two plugins function stopped working and disappeared. Settings I enabled on W3 Total Cache are https://prnt.sc/ukj2eu
    The error shown in the google console is https://prnt.sc/ukj38q.
    How can I fix that? After disabling minify options, it works fine but then site speed have no effect, i.e. performance doesn’t improve which contradicts the use of the W3 Total Cache plugin.

    Hello @tanay11

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    First, you’ve enabled “Combine only” for both JS and CSS minify and also enabled the two additional settings that clearly state that it will not be applied if the combine only is active.
    Enable the minify in Performance>General settings.
    Go to Performance>Minify>JS. select minify instead of Combine only, use embed type (Default (blocking)) for both Before </head> After <body>, disable Preserved comment, LIne break removal, and Http2 push.
    Save all settings and purge the cache.
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, you should exclude the JS file responsible for the header from minifying in Performance>Minify>Advanced>”Never minify following JS files”.
    Alternatively, you should try Manual minify and with the help of the minify wizard, add the files manually and in order.
    I hope this helps!
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I will go through it once. Anyway in “Opcode Cache”, I can’t select any option between ‘Zend Opcache’ and ‘Alternative PHP Cache’. Why is that?

    Hello @tanay11

    Thank you for the information.
    In order to be able to select those, you need to install a PHP module of one (or both) of these on your server.
    Pelase reaches out to your hosting provider as they can assist you in enabling these modules on your server.
    Thanks!

    Hello, does selecting any of the PHP module affect(improve) site performance?

    Hello @tanay11

    OPcache is a caching engine built into PHP. When enabled, it dramatically increases the performance of websites that utilize PHP. So if your website utilizes a lot of PHP it can help a lot.
    Thanks!

    Okay, I get that. What is the other plugin that you might suggest to use in combination with W3 total cache to improve load time?
