works wonders but breaks slider

Increased my page speed to an A!

I see that breaking of sliders is a common complaint here. Mine as well. I tried using a member suggestion from one of your reviews:

add_filter(‘do_not_defer’,’scripts_to_not_defer’);
function scripts_to_not_defer(){
return array(‘jquery’, ‘cycle’);
}

But it did not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
