If clearing the cache doesn’t resolve the issue then I’m afraid this is a different issue to what was described.

The path you described doesn’t look familiar. It seems that the plugin is having trouble locating a file on the server. Perhaps this file is a dynamic file that was rewritten using url rewrite to look like a static file so you wouldn’t find a file at the location pointed to by the path.

Try excluding this file from the plugin and see if that works.

Ok thank you,

I’ve added the line as you requested:

$content = apply_filters('jch_optimize_save_content', $content);

The filter is named to match the format of the other filters in the plugin.

This will be released in the nxt version (3.0.0) I’m currently working on, in about two weeks time.

Best regards.

Try to set the cache lifetime on the JCH Optimize files to a time that is much longer than the lifetime of the Cache set on WP Engine.

JCH Optimize will delete its cache after they’ve expired so I suspect that the files were deleted but the links to the files were still cached on the page on WP Engine.

Setting the lifetime of JCH to a longer time (at least twice) mitigates the chances of deleted files being cached.

If you’re using the Lazy-load Images feature try enabling ‘Autosize Images’ and see if that fixes it.

That script wouldn’t have been produced by the plugin. The plugin only combines and minifies the scripts that it finds on the website originally.

You’ll have to find the original file that contains this script and either modify it or remove it from the site. If you deactivate the plugin temporarily and run the GTMetrix test again you should still see this issue being caused by the original file/script.

Ok Good to know.

Best regards.

Check your .htaccess files for any configurations that may be causing this. Just disabling the plugin wouldn’t necessarily remove these directives. I’d recommend contacting the support for the security plugin or your hosting provider for more assistance.

The most likely reason is that you have some security plugin or application on your server that is restricting access to files from that location. Please revise your security configurations and allow access to /resources/wp-content/cache/jchoptimize/ from the Internet.

Please check our documentation on the plugin’s website for details on how to use the Exclude Options. In short, any substring of the url in the href/src attribute can be used to exclude files.

Yes we’ll be releasing a new version in a couple days. However we haven’t observed any issues since updating to WordPress 5.4. All our tests have completed successfully. If you’re having an issue it would be advisable to submit a ticket on the plugin’s website so we can check that for you on your site. It could be a local issue.

Thanks for your review. Check out our documentation on our site for detailed information on how to use the exclude settings. To answer your question, you only need to use a substring of the url that’s contained in the ‘src’ or ‘href’ attributes. Any substring would do as the plugin uses regular expressions to find a match.

We’re working on making the urls more visible in the drop-down window. For now they are truncated if they’re too long so that poses a bit of problem for some people. Always check the HTML source of your site though so you can know definitely what url you want to be excluded. You can always type in what you want to exclude then click the ‘Add item’ button to add them to the list. In fact that’s how I do it all the time, I don’t use the drop-down list at all.

Hmm, yes it would. You wouldn’t be able to exclude it using the url because every page would contain the home page’s url.

Considering though that the home page is the most important page you want optimized, it may be a better idea to resolve whatever issue you’re having on the page rather than excluding it.

No there isn’t right now unfortunately but we’ll add this in a future version.

You would need to at least combine the css files together for the sprite generator to work. You could disable all other features then disable combine javascript in the Automatic Settings Group at the bottom of the Basic Options tab.

I would recommend though that you submit this issue in a private ticket on our website so we can investigate this further for you on your site. This is atypical behavior which I believe can be rectified so you can get the full benefit of the plugin.

You can do this with the Optimize CSS Delivery feature in the Pro version. Read more about this here:
