Hi there,
If the Jetpack Boost plugin’s “Defer Non-Essential JavaScript” option is causing the ical generation on your theme to fail, it is likely that the theme’s ical generation code is not compatible with the way Jetpack Boost is deferring non-essential JavaScript.
If the developer can share more information about this incompatibility, that could help inform how we improve the Boost feature.
Note that disabling the “Defer Non-Essential JavaScript” option in Jetpack Boost will allow the ical generation to work properly, but it will also decrease the performance benefits gained from using Boost.

Thanks for the response; I will copy this to the developer so they can help further.

Hi, the theme developer has indicated:
“Usually, we recommend NOT enabling options like combine, minify js or CSS. Since you have 3rd party plugin included in the theme, such an option might make more harm, than help with speed.”
However, I disagree, as the choice to use plugins is our own and I feel boost is helpful. The theme also breaks functionality with WP Fastest Cache.
I think I’ll look into the theme code to see how it works and perform changes/testing myself and get back to you when I have information to share, if able.
Thanks!
Sounds good, please let us know what you find.
