problem aggregating js-files

thanks for yout help. It’s a pitty aggregating is not working. That brings my site from a good A on GT-metrix to a D ??
Further the google search console complains to be not mobile friendly, because they stop asking for the .css at a certain number.

The point is, that all of this started with one update of one of my plugins, but unfortunately I don’t find the right one. Before everything worked like a charm.

well, if I were you I would try asyncing the JS to make sure it is not render-blocking using the Async JavaScript plugin?

re. google mobile friendly; can you try enabling the “404 fallback” option?

update:

I could get it running when aggregating JS with the following options:

– forcing js to head
– add try-catch block

To work both options are needed, disabeling one will break the site again.
This is not very elegant, but I could not find the script hurting. Is there a usual way how to find problem scripts, to then exclude them from autoptimize?

Is there a usual way how to find problem scripts, to then exclude them from autoptimize?

that’s the process we started earlier, but it can be a hassle sometimes and yours is particularly stubborn I’m afraid. Lots of trial and error.

just to make sure; did you disable “also minify excluded css/js” when trying the exclusions?

it was not disabled, so I did disable it. The error remains, when I disable either force to head or the try catch block ??

the strange thing is, that I excluded ACF scripts, but they seem to be still there:

    at Function.ready (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:2)
    at HTMLDocument.J (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:2)

this is my exclude list:

wp-includes/js/dist/, wp-includes/js/tinymce/, js/jquery/jquery.js, wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro, wp-content/plugins/acf-frontend-form-element

and if you add wp-includes/js to the exclusion list, what does that do (to the JS errors)?

that will give me the following console errors (force to head and try/catch activated):

the options disactivated will give this:

OK, so you’re excluding wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro, wp-content/plugins/acf-frontend-form-element, but might you have other ACF-related plugins that might also need excluding?

any news sautaroc ?

I fiddled around for quite a while, but couldn’t find the error. In the end I switched to an alternative plugin. Not so efficient but working without trouble…
