defer javascript loading

  • I would like to propose deferring the loading of the compset.js to the footer if that’s possible?

    wp_enqueue_script(‘dfrcs_compsets’, DFRCS_URL . ‘js/compsets.js’, array(‘jquery’), DFRCS_VERSION, true);

    It’s single line change in actions.php, this would help with performance and is a best practice for loading javascript.

    If moving to the footer is not possible, perhaps deferring the javascript instead?

    Hi

    You can add the following code to a custom plugin to load the compsets.js file either in the footer or use defer (or both… it’s up to you).

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'modify_dfrcs_compsets_script', 10000000 ); // Priority must be higher than the original enqueue function.

    function modify_dfrcs_compsets_script() {
    	
    	// Dequeue the original script
    	wp_dequeue_script( 'dfrcs_compsets' );

    	// Re-enqueue the script in the footer
    	wp_enqueue_script(
    		'dfrcs_compsets',
    		DFRCS_URL . 'js/compsets.js',
    		array( 'jquery' ),
    		DFRCS_VERSION,
    		true // Set to true to load in the footer
    	);
    }
