Pagespeed removes //<![CDATA[ from Javascript

[Marc Mayr]

Hey,

The rewrite_javascript is removing the  //<![CDATA[ from my javascripts.

For example from:

<script type="text/javascript">
	//<![CDATA[
	(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
	(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
	m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
	})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
	ga('create', 'XXXX', 'auto');
	ga('require', 'ec');
	//console.log('ec enabled');
	ga('require', 'displayfeatures');
	ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);
	ga('send', 'pageview');
	//]]> </script>

I already tried to 

pagespeed  RetainComment "<![CDATA[*";

but without any success..

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards,

Marc

Typically you include  //<![CDATA[ ... //]]> in scripts that might be served out as xhtml.  PageSpeed removes this CDATA block if it can see the page is not xhtml, saving bytes.

Is this causing a problem?

Well when I had the old remarketing Tag installed the google tag manager said that CDATA is missing.

But with the google universal analytics it seems to work fine without CDATA.

So isn't CDATA required?

[Jeff Kaufman]

CDATA should only be required if you're serving XHTML, which it sounds like you're not.  So it sounds like this is actually all set!
