There are exclusion options. Here are a few examples. * Let’s suppose that you want to prevent all JS files from a certain plugin from being minified by Asset CleanUp. To do that, you can go to _“Settings” -> “Optimize JavaScript” -> “Do not minify the JavaScript files matching the patterns below( one per line):”_ and input there something like _/wp-content/plugins/the-plugin- title-here/_. * The same thing can be applied in _“Combine loaded JS (JavaScript) into fewer files”_ to prevent any files that belong to a specific plugin from being added to the combined files (if the feature to combine JS files is enabled of course). * Please check the following article which explains how the files from the caching directory are generated in the first place: [https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-css-js-are-created-within-the-caching-directory/](https://assetcleanup.com/docs/how-css-js-are-created-within-the-caching-directory/) * Note that not all the features have exclusion options. These include: _“Cache Dynamic Loaded JavaScript”_, _“Cache Dynamic Loaded CSS”_, _“Apply font-display: CSS property value”_. * Please let me know what plugin would you rather have excluded and why as it would help me in assisting you better. I noticed you added _“a3 lazy load”_ to the tags. If you’re referring to _“a3 Lazy Load”_ plugin, you can add the script that is loaded to the exclusion lists I mentioned. * [dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) * (@dimisius) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656083) * hello, is it possible not to cache one js file? * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656144) * [@dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) it’s possible to exclude files from being minified/combined by using the exclusion options (textareas) from _“Settings” -> “Optimize CSS” / “Optimize JavasScript”_ – is that what you need? Let me know and I’ll be gladly help you! * [dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) * (@dimisius) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656175) * Yes you are right. But when I add the path to my js file, it doesn’t work and my file ends up in the cache and my script doesn’t get activated /wp-content/ themes/mythemes/assets/js/pitch-detector/vendor/aubiojs/build/(.*?).js * [dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) * (@dimisius) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656186) * my script works only if I completely deny access to the page I need to your plugin * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656220) * [@dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) it would be easier if I could actually check the website. If you’re not comfortable sharing the URL here, then please send me an email to _support [ at ) assetcleanup – dot – com_. * PS: Can you try adding “_/wp-content/themes/mythemes/assets/js/pitch-detector/ vendor/aubiojs/build/_” to “_Do not minify the JavaScript files matching the patterns below (one per line):_” and “_Do not combine the JavaScript files matching the patterns below (one per line, see pattern examples below):_” options? * [dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) * (@dimisius) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656279) * Yes, I add to this field: “Do not minify the JavaScript files matching the patterns below (one per line):”, and to this field: “Do not combine the JavaScript files matching the patterns below (one per line, see pattern examples below):”, I even tried to create a plugin. I tried different ways Here are examples of how I indicated the paths: /wp-content/plugins/aubio /wp-content/plugins/aubio/assets/ aubiojs/build /wp-content/themes/mythemes/assets/js/pitch-detector/vendor/aubiojs/ build/aubio.js /wp-content/themes/onlinemictest/assets/js/pitch-detector/vendor/ aubiojs/build Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Excluding Script files from Cache’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-asset-clean-up/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1981952) * [Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-asset-clean-up/reviews/) ## Tags * [cache](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/cache/) * 7 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [dimisius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimisius/) * Last activity: [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-script-files-from-cache/#post-13656279) * Status: resolved
