How can I fix uncached and unminified JavaScript and CSS files issue?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A user is encountering site audit issues flagged by SEMrush: 630 pages contain uncached and unminified JavaScript and CSS files. These problems stem from the JCdropshipping app, which the user has installed on their Shopify store.

Suggested Solution:

  • The app developers should ideally address these performance issues.
  • One workaround involves downloading the app’s JS and CSS code and hosting it directly within the store, though this approach has drawbacks.
  • Self-hosting would require the user to manually update the app’s JS version and may involve custom coding.

Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved, with the user seeking guidance on how to proceed given the third-party app dependency.

If it’s an App, then these problems should ideally be addressed by the app developers.

Sometimes it’s possible to download app JCSS and S code and host it in your store – it will require some custom coding.

This should fix the problem, but it’s not always possible and also you would now be in charge of updating app JS to the current version.

Not ideal.
