    Hi all,

    Hoping this is the right area to post this. I had made a post in the wordpress section, but I don't think I am getting much traction. I am trying to work through fixing some deffered javascript on my site that is blocking my slideshow images from working.

    I downloaded a plugin called WP-Rocket to help speed up my site which has worked pretty good minus this issue. I reached out to their support which gave me their fix and I am not sure if I am not doing it correctly or maybe it is not the answer.

    Everything I know website wise I have been trying to self teach myself to keep the website a float - so bare with me and my limited knowledge when I try to explain this issue.

    Issue: In my mobile version of the site - this page and others that have slideshow images do not display: https://highperformancejunkies.com/how-to-guides/rust-corrosion-repair-a-diy-guide/

    Error codes as outline by the support team: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuXvnpz

    They then went on to say: "I checked them and I see that one of the errors is pointing to this file https://c0.wp.com/p/jetpack/8.0/_inc/blocks/slideshow/view.js, which is actually deferred"

    The Fix: They said to download the plugin they have here and follow the instructions. This included editing the plugin before I activate it: https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/976-exclude-files-from-defer-js

    I tried the following 3 edits into the plugin and none seemed to solve the problem:

    $excluded_files[] = 'https://c0.wp.com/p/jetpack/(.*).js
    $excluded_files[] = '/jetpack/8.0/_inc/blocks/slideshow/view.js'
    $excluded_files[] = '/slideshow/view.js'

    Questions:

    - Was this not the right fix?
    - Is this only part of a fix?
    - Did I make an error in how I excluded the files?

    Many thanks to anyone who can help
