Render-Blocking JavaScript from Autoptimze

sure; uncheck the “force JS into head” option (that might require some extra config though, as deferring JS can break stuff).

have fun,
frank

Thanks Frank

I’ve tried it, but I still get

render blocking from:

https://cdn1.mosquitonomore.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_9454d458b97e420bf2adb0f7acbf212c.js

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmosquitonomore.com

only lists https://mosquitonomore.com/?sccss=1&ver=4.4.2 as render blocking actually.

the js/autoptimize file is mentioned in a separate tip;

Minifying https://cdn1.mosquitonomore.com/…mize_9454d458b97e420bf2adb0f7acbf212c.js could save 657B (1% reduction) after compression.

you can find more info on why this is so and how you could fix in this forum topic.

hope this clarifies,

Hello,

i have the same problem.
The only blocking script is Autoptimize himself. If i try to uncheck “force JS into head” the site don′t load. I think the script is important to load the theme.
Here is my site:

https://www.sachsen.schule/~gym-heidenau/web

and the speed test:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sachsen.schule%2F~gym-heidenau%2Fweb&tab=desktop

Is there any solution for this problem?

I know 89% is not bad but maybe i can it make more better.

Best regards, patrick

Hi Patrick;
If disabling “force into head” causes problems, you can try excluding just the right JS from optimization to load at least the autoptimized JS late. At that point the excluded JS would at probably be render-blocking, so you would be going in circles really. But once you know which JS (and which plugin) needs JS loaded early, you could look for alternatives for that plugin?

Hope this clarifies,
frank

Hello Frank,

thank you for your quick answer.
Where can I find the file which the sequence of the scripts defines? It is the functions.php in theme folder or a other?

It’s not that simple, I’m afraid; your theme and each plugin request WP core to add JS, the full list of all enqueued scripts is kept in a variable of WP at runtime. If you’re into coding, you can print_r the contents of $wp_scripts (if I’m not mistaking) to see what JS has been queued for output.

Oh no. I think this is too complicated for me. I’ll probably leave it as it is.

Thank You ??
