Title: Minify JavaScript removes an image Last modified: September 17, 2020 --- # Minify JavaScript removes an image * Resolved [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/) * (@antonggg) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/) * Hi, Installing the plugin seems to have improved our load times quite a bit, I guess mostly due to caching. I wanted to give Minify a try, but one image on our front page disappears when I activate Minify JavaScript, possibly also some more images, but that’s what I could see imediately. It works for html and CSS. * I tried to further narrow it down by using the options “Enable minification of JavaScript files” and “Enable merging of JavaScript files”, but both create this problem. While having a technical background, I am not a web developer, so I am not too much familiar with those settings. * Any idea what causes this, should I exclude a certain file or similar? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fminify-javascript-removes-an-image%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419645) * Hi there, * Could you share a screenshot of the issue VS no issue, then enable minification of JS and enable “Contain each included file in its own block” (just until I can see the issue)? * Marc. * Thread Starter [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/) * (@antonggg) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419707) * Hi Marc, * Thanks for your fast reply.

I found some other images with the same problem, all in English only: * – An image on [https://canamasq.com/about-us/](https://canamasq.com/about-us/)( present in French) – multiple images on the product pages [https://canamasq.com/shop/canamasq-reusable-facemask](https://canamasq.com/shop/canamasq-reusable-facemask) and [https://canamasq.com/shop/childsize-canamasq-reusable-facemask](https://canamasq.com/shop/childsize-canamasq-reusable-facemask)( as well present in French). * The English is the original site, French is translated with WPML. - This reply was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/). * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419802) * All the pages you linked work fine for me, both in English and French. * What I noticed is that Lazy-loading is enabled on the images, so it could be related to that feature. * On a page where the image doesn’t appear, could you open your browser’s console and check for errors? There current are several errors, but they are related to a video player which seems to be blocked. So we’re looking for something else. * Edit: Are you logged in when seeing the issue? - This reply was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/). * Thread Starter [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/) * (@antonggg) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419871) * Hi Marc, * Just check: Yes, these images disappear only when logged in with Firefox, when using a different browser or a private window in Firefox to be logged out it works fine. * Additionally, disabling lazyload (through Jetpack) makes them also visible everywhere. Since seeing the site correctly also when logged in would be important: Any fix? Or generally, would enabling minify or lazyload of images give me more performance, if I can select only one? This isn’t a crazy complex page… * I find the following errors (here on About, but the same as well on the other pages): `"Uncaught SyntaxError: missing } after property listwpo-minify-footer- 873ccc63.min.js:108:156note: { opened at line 108, column 129"` * Thanks! - This reply was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/). * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419929) * > Any fix?

This isn’t a crazy complex page… * You should be able to use both, we just have to narrow it down to the file that causes the issue. * The error you shared would be the one, but the file contains a too much informations for me to be sure. * So could you disable “Enable merging of JavaScript files” for now, and check for a similar error? * Thread Starter [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/) * (@antonggg) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13419950) * With this option disabled, the image gets displayed.

You can try to `add google-site-kit/dist/` to the setting “Exclude JavaScript from processing”, and try to re-enable merging of files. * Thread Starter [antonggg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonggg/) * (@antonggg) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minify-javascript-removes-an-image/#post-13420155) * Thanks, that worked!
