# Search popups at page bottom with WP Rocket

When WP Rocket is active, the date and guest popups in your search bar can appear at the bottom of the page instead of as overlays.

**Why this happens.** The WP Rocket option **Load JavaScript deferred** delays the HomeRunner interface scripts, which breaks the popup components.

**How to fix it.**

1. In WP Rocket, go to **File Optimization**.
2. Add these lines to **Excluded JavaScript Files**: `/wp-content/plugins/homerunner/(.*).js`, `/wp-content/plugins/homerunner-toolkit/(.*).js`, `/wp-content/plugins/homerunner-conversion-kit/(.*).js`, and `/wp-content/plugins/homerunner-ai-search-enhancer/(.*).js`.
3. Click **Save Changes**.
4. Clear the WP Rocket cache.
5. Reload the page in a private window to confirm the popups work normally again.
