# Javascript Minify Issue

 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m a new WP-Optimizer, I’m trying to setup my first WordPress website and I’m
   having a small issue. I hope someone can help me figure out if this is something
   which needs to be addressed or if it’s not an issue at all.
 * Here’s the thing: after running a SEO analysis I received this message: “Some
   CSS and Javascript files don’t seem to be minified.”
 * So I found WP-Optimize, ran a database optimization, then enabled page caching
   and the Minify option but then my website stopped loading. I then followed the
   documentation’s suggestions about containing and merging Javascript files but
   only after completely disabling the processing of the Javascript files everything
   seems to be working again.
 * I ran the SEO Analysis again and it now says the CSS is correctly minified, but
   the HTML document has increased in size from 35Kb to 53Kb.
 * The Javascript files which are not minified are these:
 *     ```
       https://www.robertomango.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp
       https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=XXXXmyIDXXXX
       https://www.robertomango.com/wp-content/plugins/hybrid-composer/scripts/script.js?ver=1.0
       ```
   
 * So the questions are: should/can these files really be minified? and why has 
   WP-Optimize increased the HTML size so much?
 * Thanking everyone in advance, I look forward to your support!
 * Roberto

 * Some files can’t be minified.
 * For example, the GoogleTagManager file is actually coming from Google, so that
   file isn’t actually part of your web site and thus can’t be minified by the plugin.
 * That’s likely true for the RobertOmango files too.
 * That’s been my experience.
 * Maybe someone else has a workaround?
