 * When using JS-Minify, the plugin destroys the JS-Code on my blog. JS doesn’t 
   work anymore.

 * Which is what will happen with badly written JS.
 * Anyway, you can manually minify JS. Don’t have w3Cache do it.

 * That is, manually specify the files in the W3TC configuration and notify the 
   authors of plugins that break that they do so they can start to improve.
