 * Hello [@fscbmwcca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fscbmwcca/),
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * When plugins with dynamic elements (like sliders) update, frontend optimization
   settings can occasionally conflict with how their scripts load. Rather than turning
   off JavaScript minification entirely, you can exclude just the Depicter plugin’s
   specific scripts from optimization.
 * You can do this using the “Exclude from JavaScript Minification” option in Speed
   Optimizer:
 * [https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/speed-optimizer/frontend-optimization#minify-css-js-html](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/speed-optimizer/frontend-optimization#minify-css-js-html)
 * If you are still encountering the same problem once you have excluded the JavaScript
   files for Depicter, the best approach would be to submit a support ticket from
   your SiteGround account:
 * [https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_post_support_tickets/](https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_post_support_tickets/)
 * Our technical support team will be happy to examine your site directly and assist
   you further.
 * Best Regards,
   Miroslav Tyurdiev
