Difference Between Defer JS on Async JS and Autoptimize

Hi there,

First off, kudos to the author of both plugins, they work great!

I’ve tried both Async Javascript and Autoptimize plugin. In particular to Defer JS (with jQuery excluded) on Async Javascript, I have to exclude a number of JS files to keep a specific page of my website from breaking. And I believe by default, inline scripts are not deferred too.

However for Autoptimize plugin, I need not exclude any JS files, not even jquery.min, I also checked the option to defer all inline scripts, and that specific page that breaks previously, actually works perfectly now.

For Autoptimize, would you suggest to leave everything deferred since it is working or should I exclude those files I excluded on Async Javascript as a means to “play safe”?
