 * Hi – first off, I really LOVE Swift, but I cannot use it on several of my websites.
   All of them are built using Divi and the Divi Builder, and I have been experiencing
   many problems related to the Divi builder modules.
 * Examples include entire module contents not showing up, pics in blurb modules
   not showing up, rows in parallax sections not showing up. It seems to have particular
   trouble with any of the full width modules.
 * I’ve had to go back to using our old caching plugin even though we don’t get 
   nearly the good performance results as when using Swift, but we need to have 
   our page content show up. I would be extremely happy if this were resolved. Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Most likely Merge Scripts/Styles causes your issue. Disable Merge and see if 
   that solve your issue.

 * Nope, disabled that as well as the built-in Divi CSS optimizing and it didn’t
   make a difference. I ended up changing the sections giving us problems (removing
   animations, parallax, etc.) just to make Swift work because it improves load 
   speed so much more than other caching plugins we’ve tried.

 * I had the same problem with Divi theme. Finally found a solution: disabling merging
   scripts and styles AND disabling Gzip. Now all works well including animations
   and the site speed is great.

   if you guys could fix these issues with Divi theme.

 * I’m running into the same issue on multiple sites all built with Divi. It appears
   that it happens to modules that are using the theme’s built-in animations. But
   not on all sites with animation, some are okay and some are not. The sites are
   using the very same plugins, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m confused as to
   why some sites are problems and some are not.
 * As a note, wp-fastest-cache, which though is not overall as good a caching plugin
   as Swift, still correctly displays sections with the animations on all websites.

 * there’s not a fixed set of options that should be activated on every website.
   
   Every site is different, and even if they might have Divi in common, several 
   factors can influence the choice of the best Swift Performance settings. If you
   disable Normalize Static Resources, does that fix the issue?

 * Just tried it and nope, didn’t make a difference. The stuff with animations are
   not showing. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried tweaking a few settings with
   no luck.

 * [@gjefle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gjefle/) I also think the problem
   occurs because of Divi builder’s specific modules. I forgot to say, I also excluded
   some URLs from caching, like /Layout_type/, /module_section/

   I hope this helps.
 * Normalize Static Resources is turned on for me.
 * Because I can’t use merging styles and scripts with Swift, I use Autoptimize 
   plugin for that and this combination (Autoptimize + Swift) works perfectly for
   me, much better than Autoptimize alone, or any other plugin I tried.

 * Autoptimize does not do page caching, so combining it with Swift for it’s great
   page caching capabilities makes a lot of sense actually 🙂

 * Sorry not to respond for a few days – been uber busy. I’ve been doing a fair 
   amount of caching exclusions and it seems to help _sometimes_. I will look into
   autoptimize when I get a chance. Thanks to all for their suggestions!

 * Hey there,
    Since this topic has been inactive for a while, I’m going to go ahead
   and mark as resolved. Don’t hesitate to reopen or create a new topic if you still
   need help! Thanks for understanding!.
