jquery nor deferring

Hi
I have 3 sites all with what I think are the same settings.

One of them is called out for jquery being render blocking (https://farmmachinerypages.co.uk/) the other two are fine… (https://www.truckpages.co.uk/ and https://www.plantpages.co.uk/ )

I use AO and CCSS on all three and Asset Clean Up on all three. The only large difference is that the farm site does not use Rapidload (yet).

Been racking my brains – settings are
Optimise JavaScript code – checked
Do not aggregate but defer – checked
Also defer inline js – checked
Exclude scripts – empty

Misc
Save aggregated…. – checked
Minify excluded CSS JS – Checked

Extra
Async JavaScript files – empty

Any thoughts what could cause this?
Thanks

it could be due to the “compatibility logic” which will in some cases ensure jQuery is NOT deferred, you can try disabling that with this code snippet to test/ confirm:
```
add_filter( 'autoptimize_filter_init_compatibility', '__return_false' );
```

I put that in the functions file, cleared WPSuper cache then tested again and it is still being called out as render blocking… Should I try the ‘Async JavaScript’ plugin?

Weird. You can try adding jquery.min.js to the “async” field on the Extra tab or indeed try with the asyncJS plugin.

No luck – still showing as render blocking – do I need to clear the AO cache to test these types of changes?

well, on farmmachinerypages there is one other JS-file which also is not deferred and which I can’t see on truckpages; wp-content/themes/motors/assets/js/typeahead.jquery.min.js so there likely is a configuration difference at theme level and that difference is (or might be) causing the non-deferral of jQuery?

The themes for Plant and Farm are the same – but the cause of this was that I have excluded more files from Truck & Plant using Asset Clean Up than Farm. I have removed this from farm now as well. I will bring both themes up to date. Still confused…?

if everything is identical (theme, theme config, plugins, plugin config) then indeed all 3 sites _should_ act in identically the same manner.
