 * Hello!
 * I’m getting 404 errors from Googlebot on cached .js
 * For example: `/blog/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_*.js ` and `/
   blog/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_single_*.js `
 * Screenshot from Kibana: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W-prSA4kMNH9rwyhNnQffihWs5UxHlhf/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W-prSA4kMNH9rwyhNnQffihWs5UxHlhf/view?usp=sharing)
 * There are hundreds of such errors. How could I deal with them?

 * I would suggest to;
    * disable “aggregate JavaScript” and instead use “don’t 
   aggregate but defer” + “also defer inline JS” * try not to clear AO’s cache too
   often (with the above change it should be needed a lot less)
 * hope this helps,
    frank
