 * Hi Gabe,
 * Many thanks for continuing to provide a free version of your excellent plug-in
   for those of us who are just running hobby blogs, rather than businesses. It 
   is much appreciated.
 * With a combination of Asset Cleanup, ShortPixel, and Litespeed Cache (and the
   associated Quic.Cloud CDN) I have got my Home page loading time well under 1 
   second. [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/richiesroom.com/3RvXKEzz/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/richiesroom.com/3RvXKEzz/)
 * One thing that continues to pop-up on both GTMetrix and Google PSI is the ‘Remove
   unused JavaScript’ suggestion. The item in question is **jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1**
 * When I look in Asset Cleanup it shows this item under the ‘WordPress Core’ section
   together with a warning. I’m confused – Is it safe to remove this? If not, why
   do both of those sites continue to make the recommendation?
 * Thanks,
    Richie
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-unused-javascript-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
