Merge JS/CSS files

Question

I'm trying to compress the code files on my magento 2 store. And so we wanted to use the Merge JS/CSS files in the magento 2 admin.

We are not programmers, and we would like to not have to contact programmes to fix any problems because of high cost.

So what i'm wondering is, how big is the chance that something goes wrong with the site when i merge the files? and if anything goes wrong, can i just Unmerge them and everything will be fine?

Answer 2

You just need to revert back that setting.

if admin not work, then go to PHPMyAdmin

and find entry into core_config_data like

select * from core_config_data where path like '%merge%';

and change entry to 0 and do cache flush then your store will revert back
