Title: Exclude javascript from optimization Last modified: November 15, 2023 --- # Exclude javascript from optimization * Resolved [impex23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impex23/) * (@impex23) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/) * Hi, I have an issue with autoptimize plugin in one of my websites , as we have done the settings and checked the Optimize JavaScript Code? non-logged-in users are not able to view the js scripts. The website is done using Timber Framework with WordPress and also is there any option to exclude the twig file in which we have all scripts called scripts.twig but this is not an external js file, the code written here are visible in the view page source and there is no scripts. twig in the source code * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexclude-javascript-from-optimization%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203135) * when “optimize JavaScript” is on, what errors do you see on the browser console? * re. twig JS; if that is inline simply deactivate the option to aggregate (or defer) the inline JS? * Thread Starter [impex23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impex23/) * (@impex23) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203375) * I am not getting any error in the console but the js code is not visible in the view page source for non-logged in users, how to fix this issue and this is dropping the core web vitals, so I need to keep js code visible and also to fix core web vitals * Thread Starter [impex23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impex23/) * (@impex23) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203428) * Also aggregate inline JS? when I check this option I am getting that issue, as the non-logged in users are not able to view the js code in the view source code, how to fix it - This reply was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by [impex23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impex23/). * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203482) * well, JS code does not have to visible, the reason it’s not visible is that it’s part of the aggregated file. but if you don’t want that you can keep that option disabled?

* OR you could exclude specific inline JS by adding a (unique) keyword that is in the block of inline JS you would like to keep in the HTML? * Thread Starter [impex23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impex23/) * (@impex23) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203577) * desktop will be fixed, I am talking about mobile core web vitals * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-javascript-from-optimization/#post-17203596) * I had a quick look at the Pagespeed Insights for mobile; the biggest issue by far currently is the “server response time”, for which you should implement page caching (this is not part of Autoptimize, but you can install e.g. KeyCDN Cache Enabler for that or you could give Autoptimize Pro a try). * Javascript-wise the biggest issue seems to be with the Google Tag Manager code which AO can’t optimize. consider simplifying the amount of logic implemented in GTM?
