 * Sup yall,
 * We were getting page load times around 8 seconds then activated W3 Total Cache
   plugin that got it down around 4 seconds but the minification caused the progress
   bars (for example [http://australian-sports-betting-guide.com.au/bookmaker-reviews/](http://australian-sports-betting-guide.com.au/bookmaker-reviews/))
   to not display properly and adding urls with progress bars to the minifiaction
   exemption list caused bugs. Without minification we get load time around 6 seconds.
 * How can I minify everything except the progress bars so they work but we still
   get the fast load times form minifying everything else?
 * Thanks

 * Try using manual mode, that’s the easiest way unfortunately. Alternatively, you
   can debug the code so you can get to the bottom of the bug yourself.

 * Hi Frederick,
 * I should have elaborated when I had pages listed in the Never minify the following
   pages: the message
 * Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter ‘~’ found in/
   home/austra72/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/Minify.
   php on line 1170
 * Came above all pages, think that might mean I listed them incorectly?
 * Anyhow what I have done is enable minification but dis-enabled minification of
   JS (I guess the progress bars are JS). That seems to be good for now.
 * Great plug in!
