    I am trying to combine javascript together as one external file to defer loading. I am not sure am I doing the correct thing. I got the javascript upload into my root directory in a .js file.

    Then I paste the the code below below before the </body> tag.

    <script defer="defer" type="text/javascript">
    window.onload=function(){
        var mycode;
        mycode=document.createElement("script");
        mycode.type="text/javascript";
        mycode.src="https://www.my site name.com/my external javascript file end with .js";
        document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(mycode);
    }
</script>

    I am not too sure. As for the external file link is working. It is just that according to the page speed tool Pingdom Tool , the Combine external JavaScript has no effect.

    Because according to pingdom, the page is finished loading. I doubt it executes all of your post-loading javascript as well. Go to your page and check the page source. Is the JavaScript there? Is it doing what it’s supposed to be doing?

    The list of pages with Javascript are all there. That is where I got the whole bunch of javascript. I pasted them on the Notepad, minified them before I had it uploaded to my root directory.

    Anyway, a while ago, when I went back to Pingdom Tools I notice I managed to score 1/100 for Combine external Javascript. And now there newly created external file is included in the list!

    I don’t understand. So the problem persists or you have solved it?
