 * Hi, I am trying to use Autoptimize plugin to solve the **issues with uncached
   JavaScript and CSS files** because Semrush highlights many many warnings(1600
   + warnings) after the site audit. After installing Autoptimize plugin, most of
   the issues have been eliminated. Appreciate that.
 * But Semrush is still warning(700+ warnings) on the pages related to ‘, wp-includes/
   js/dist/, wp-includes/js/tinymce/, js/jquery/jquery.min.js’ which is excluded
   by the default settings ‘Exclude scripts from Autoptimize’.
 * So, my question is can I remove these 3 items from the default setting to do 
   further optimization? What are the risks of removing them from the default settings?
 * Thank you for the help in advance.

 * you can try removing them, but test if your site still works correctly, you might
   have to (re-)add at least jquery.min.js.
 * hope this helps,
    frank
