 * Hi, I have my site built in Avada theme so when I enable JS minify it shows http
   error 500. When I turn off website goes back to normal. Can you please provide
   with some hint how to solve this issue cause I tried other options such as excluding
   jquery.js and migration jquery scripts. Also I don’t have any other minifaction
   plugin installed and in W3 that option is not enabled.
    Thanks

 * Well, you can try 3 things:
    * systematically exclude JS-files one by one to 
   identify if one is “to blame” * try enabling the “legacy minifiers” as described
   in [AO’s FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/) * try switching
   to [the upcoming AO 2.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-2-2-is-near-need-testers/)
   which will make HTTP500’s more unlikely
 * or a combination of those 3 😉
