 * In the waterfall chart of GTmetrix I’ve got this large file wp-content/cache/
   autoptimize/js/autoptimize_b31b024f196dd127bd9dabb04edbe1aa.js is it possible
   to optimize ?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foptimize-autoptimize-js-files%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I only see wordpress/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_d3701fd99234dde4141c9fb4f8df0adc.
   js and that is only 25KB tranfer size and 88KB uncompressed, so not really large?

 * I guess the file keeps changing name in cache as its now [https://arn1e.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_9ab54a4000f5ca2ef977015d1929da98.js](https://arn1e.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_9ab54a4000f5ca2ef977015d1929da98.js)
   and the waiting time on GTmetrix is longer that the website itself. Please check

 * if the file changes, you have to reconfigure AO to ensure that the cached version
   can be re-used more.
 * the fact that the file takes long-ish to download is because you’re on cloudflare
   which, if not on cloudflare yet, has to fetch the file from your server. moreover
   cloudflare adds the `cf-cache-status: BYPASS` response header (probably because
   of `cache-control: private` from your origin server) which means cloudflare will
   never cache the JS. Same problem for your jquery.js by the way;

 * That’s great thanks, I’m going to disable Cloudflare and see how I get on.
    BTW,
   if anyone gets problems with Gravity Forms, which they will, you must exclude
   these js/jquery/jquery.js,/gravityforms/js/ and in Async exclude jQuery and the
   plugin gravity forms. I’ve seen dozens of answers to the problem of submit button
   not doing anything and recaptcha not showing but the above setting are the way
   to go.

 * and thannks for the gravity form feedback, can indeed prove usefull to others!
