Autoptimize and Async Javascript not playing nice together

    Generally speaking I advice users to start of with just Autopitmize, which will aggregate, minify and defer all JS (except jQuery which is excluded by default). IF after that you still have render-blocking JavaScript (mostly 3rd party stuff), then you can try to Async that using the AsyncJS plugin, but this might not always work as some JS doesn’t want to be asynced (or can’t be).

    Based on the screenshot of the Firefox console you’ll have to exclude jQuery from being asynced/ deferred.

    hope this clarifies,

    Thanks Frank ??

    I have uninstalled the Async plugin because it actually made no difference to my scores and it has removed the errors ??

    Maybe a list of compatible plugins alongside each other would be good for your fans so we don’t wast time asking you stupid questions ??

    there are no stupid questions, only frequently asked questions and those go in https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/autoptimize/faq/ .. maybe I should add something there ??

    Thanks Frank ??
