 * I’m trying W3 total cache out on [http://words.mikefinley.co.uk](http://words.mikefinley.co.uk)
   and am trying to remove as many js files as possible from the pages. When I put
   the WordPress statistics javascript file into the footer blocking set it is then
   below the st_go call, so presumably statistics will no longer be collected.
    
   I’ve currently placed the file into the header blocking set to get round this.(
   I’d been simply putting all files in the header into header blocking, and files
   in the footer into footer blocking, assuming this would be safe.)

 * however, even after moving the js file into the header section statistics are
   still not updated, so i’ve had to move it out of the cache altogether, and now
   it works again.

 * You **cannot** minify statistics, ads etc JS files.
 * Code quality also varies for the plugins/theme files that remain. You need to
   test the various options one-by-one sometimes to find out which ones cannot be
   optimized. Sometimes the combine only option is your last resort.
