 * Apparently, there’s are many JS that cannot be minified. But if you’re using 
   W3Tcache, then you could solve this by manually selecting the files to be minfied
   and those to do not minify.
 * 1) go to Performance>General settings> [tick: enable; manua] and leave deafults
   
   2) save all settings 3) go to Performance>Minify> 4) click [empty cache] ; 5)
   click [help] >> here you will see a list of suggested stuff;
 * Once this popover loads up you will be faced with a list of javascript files,
   followed by stylesheets that your site is linking to. Essentially we want to 
   try and tick everything EXCEPT:
    -Jquery files -Google ads (or any ads for that
   matter) -Any stats.wordpress.js files (you will have these if you have jetpack
   installed However for CSS you can pretty safely select all of them. Now this 
   isn’t an exact science as this is minifying your theme files (Don’t worry it’s
   non destructive) and there are alot of different themes all employing a wide 
   range of different files, plugins and functions. Like my theme file cannot be
   minified because i’m using a child-theme (that use [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)).
   So (expect from other your basical settings): -In the javascript list do not 
   put [http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/flare/js/flare.js?ver=1.2.4the](http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/flare/js/flare.js?ver=1.2.4the)
   css And in the css list do not put [http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/flare/css/flare.css?ver=1.2.4](http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/flare/css/flare.css?ver=1.2.4)
 * 6) Basically preview your changes before submitting them.
    Minify is one of the
   biggest improvements you will be integrating, once you have selected all your
   files (and done the same with every theme, if you are using more than one) then
   click “Apply & close”, directly followed by “Save all settings” (Deploy it if
   your site still looks/works the same).
 * Hope you can solve it.. ask me if you have some issues!
