Hi,
if you believe both JS/CSS need to be excluded , you better enable only one of them first, so you don’t get mess up working environment
like you want to debug CSS issue first, then disable all the JS options
firstly I would suggest to get to know which options that caused the issue , like if it’s caused by CSS minify , or CSS combine , or CSS combine inline/external , or UCSS, or load async css …etc
it should take effect immediately after you did a purge
but you have another cache plugin in place, that could interfere as well though
best regards,
Hey @qtwrk,
I appreciate the response. I do only have JS enabled at the moment, so that’s covered.
Okay, that makes sense. So if I’m starting with debugging JS, I should remove all the excluded links, turn off all the JS settings, then turn them on one by one to see which causes the issue, correct?
After that, then what? For instance, if “JS Combine External and Inline” being on is causing the issue, there’s no area in the tuning tab for me to deal with that. Does that mean my only option would be to turn it off?
One last question. You say the effects should be immediate, but my site takes a while to show other changes. E.g., if I change the colour of a button it can take 5 mins to hours to showcase the changes. Does that mean the changes after purging could also take substantial time?
Thanks again for everything

Hi,
yes
there are 2 field in tune setting for JS , one is JS exclude , another is defer JS exclude , the second work effects the option “defer/delay JS” , first one affects JS minify, combine, and inl-ext combine
with LSCache , yes , the effect is immediately , right after page is refreshed , but in your case, you are not using LSCache , but other cache system , I can not tell how long it takes to effect for other cache
best regards,
Hey,
That makes sense, thanks again!
I’m only using LSCache actually, which makes me wonder why the updates are taking so long.

there was an x-cache: HIT yesterday when I check , but seems gone now
@qtwrk it seems like you were right at my hosting provider had a front end cache enabled that I knew nothing about, which is why the updates weren’t immediate.
I’ve disabled that now, and testing is way easier. Although, it seems like I’m unable to keep the defer setting on at all for JS. Even though I tried excluding the scripts that were running, it still breaks the site, so I can’t even test it.
It is what it is though.
Thanks for everything.

a simplest way to start with is to put
wp-content
wp-includes
into both exclude list , this will exclude all the individual JS files , see how it goes first
if this works ,that means your file is within these 2 directories and you can keep narrow down
if this doesn’t work , that means your code is probably inline code , you will need grab a piece of each inline code and put into exclude field
