### If you're facing issues when enabling Delay JS
| First turn off the setting and confirm the issue is resolved, be sure to test after each stage below and please be sure to purge any cache!

1) Exclude 'themes' in the delay JS field then check to see if the issue is resolved

```html
themes
```

2) If the theme does not resolve the issue, you may then exclude your builder such as:

```html
elementor
oxygen
gutenberg
```

3) If the builder does not resolve the issue, then you may exclude 'plugins' as well and re-test

```html
plugins
```

If that works, you can then isolate a specific plugin such as a slider, carousel or other aspect that cannot be delayed without breaking functionality.

| Note, this is for a starting point to find what section is causing issues, at any time we'll be happy to help with excludes via chat or ticket support!
