    I’ve tested to make sure that PHP exec is enabled and working, but according to the logs of all the processed JavaScript files it’s not available:

    2016-03-17T01:12:34+00:00 - COMPRESSING WITH MINIFY (PHP exec not available)

    Any idea on what could be causing this discrepancy?

    Hi exirtix,

    Do you have java installed?
    Its possible its not being detected.

    I don’t know whether the server I’m hosting it on has Java, Does this plugin require Java? I would have thought it was only dependent on PHP, since PHP exec is just a PHP function, right?

    The plugin only needs Java when compressing with Google Closure. It should however fallback to use Minify (only requires PHP) when Java isn’t available. Minify does a great job, but we find Closure to create slightly smaller script files. CSS minification uses Minify so Java isn’t needed for it.

    Ah. I see.

    Well, it is successfully falling back, so no worries there, I just wondered how much I was missing out on, but it seems like it’s probably not a significant enough difference to warrant much effort or concern on anyone’s part.

    Thank you for the response, and the plugin!
