    Hi Dan Prince

    I hope you’re well today!

    This is a bit “misleading” error and it does not and will not affect your site performance and features in any way.

    “Source map” is way for browser to easily show “unscrambled” (not minified version) of compressed/minified JS script in browser webdeveloper tools/console out of the box. It’s not “mandatory” to have them and with “dynamic minification” – regardless whether it’s done by Hummingbird or built-in Divi minification – they would also have to be dynamically created.

    This error does not happen in any other case than with browser console open. It’s strictly webdeveloper tools related thing. When you browse the site with webdeveloper tools not active it’s not that this error is invisible – it literally doesn’t happen.

    This can be safely ignored and will not affect any features/performance on site.

    Kind regards,
    Adam
