LiteSpeed changes script to type=”litespeed/javascript” breaking widget

Hello,

I am having an issue with LiteSpeed Cache rewriting a Google Merchant Center widget script, which causes the widget to stop working on my WordPress site.

1. Original Code (before LiteSpeed optimization)

<script id='merchantWidgetScript' src="https://www.gstatic.com/shopping/merchant/merchantwidget.js"defer></script>
     <script>
  merchantWidgetScript.addEventListener('load', function () {
    merchantwidget.start({
     position: 'LEFT_BOTTOM'
   });
  });
</script>

2. Code after LiteSpeed optimization (frontend source)

<script id='merchantWidgetScript' src="https://www.gstatic.com/shopping/merchant/merchantwidget.js"defer></script> <script type="litespeed/javascript">merchantWidgetScript.addEventListener('load',function(){merchantwidget.start({position:'LEFT_BOTTOM'})})</script>

Because the script becomes type=”litespeed/javascript” and data-src, the Google Merchant widget never initializes.

3. What I have already tried
   I have already excluded the script in LiteSpeed settings:
   LiteSpeed Cache → Page Optimization → Tuning
   JS Excludes:
   https://www.gstatic.com/shopping/merchant/merchantwidget.js
   merchantwidget
   gstatic.com/shopping/merchant
   JS Delayed Excludes:
   https://www.gstatic.com/shopping/merchant/merchantwidget.js
   merchantwidget
   gstatic.com/shopping/merchant

I also purged all caches:
Purge All
Purge All – LSCache
Purge CSS/JS Cache
Browser hard refresh

4. Current Optimization Settings
   JS Minify: ON
   JS Combine: OFF
   Load JS Deferred: ON
   Delay JS: OFF

Guest Mode: previously ON, now tested with OFF as well.

5. Issue
   Even after excluding the script, LiteSpeed still rewrites the script to:
   type=”litespeed/javascript”
   data-src=
   which prevents the widget from loading.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
