Does Flying Scripts skip if the script has “async” attribute?

    If a script has async attribute like this;

    <script data-minify="1" async src="url"></script>

    Does Flying Scripts skip this file even if we indicate that specific script to be delayed?

    Other delay JS features like in WP Rocket can delay the same script, but Flying Scripts is not delaying even the time out is set to 5000*1000 aka Never.

    @skillsharejp no, Flying Scripts don’t skip based on async or data-minify.

    Thanks for confirming. I just noticed DOM size (actually the rendering) matters how Flying Scripts gets triggered.

    For example on a page where DOM size is quite large (4,000), Flying Scripts can’t delay any scripts.

    On the other hand, on a page on the same domain with less DOM size, Flying Scripts is actually delaying scripts.

    Have you heard any similar report like this before?

    Possible causes:

    1) There are some serious HTML errors.
    2) Your server doesn’t have enough memory (resources) to parse the HTML.

    Your server doesn’t have enough memory (resources) to parse the HTML.

    This is so far the most possible cause. Thanks for your feedback as I can’t find serious HTML errors for now.

    One more question. Perfmatters delay can handle both pages, doesn’t matter how large is the DOM is. But only Flying Scripts can’t handle like in previous post. (Every test is done on the same site, same condition.)

    Do you think this is also related to how much RAM the serve has?

    @skillsharejp both are different plugins, might be using different HTML parsers.
