## Adjusting W3 Total Cache

[W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) has two different areas where you can configure settings for minifying JavaScript code: **General Settings** and **Minify.** We’ll go over how to disable JavaScript minification in both options.

#### General Settings

First, you’ll need to access the general settings in **Performance » General Settings**. Then, scroll to the **Minify** section.

If the steps above don’t resolve the issue, you can further fine-tune the optimization settings. To do this, go to **Performance » Minify**. Then, scroll to the JS section.

Then, disable the **JS minify settings** by unchecking the checkbox next to **Enable**.

In this field, you can exclude WPForms assets by inputting the following script:

`/wp-content/plugins/wpforms/assets/js/frontend/wpforms.min.js`

![Exclude WPForms assets W3 Total Cache](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/exclude-wpforms-assets-w3-total-cache-1.png)Once you’ve added the WPForms script, be sure to click the **Save Settings & Purge Caches** button to save your changes.
