 * There are some javascript files that I have excluded from being combined, but
   I still want them to load non-render blocking. Is there any way to do that?
 * Some of the excluded files are loaded by WordPress Core and some of them by my
   theme. They are already minified with .min in the names.

 * Try the “async” field in Settings -> Autoptimize -> Extra maybe?
