EDD-required jquery causing site to fail Google’s core vitals

    Many of the pages on my site are failing Google’s core vitals due to render-blocking jquery scripts, but when I disable jquery on the site, EDD stops working (specifically, it seems to be the free-downloads extension that fails).

    Problem: When jquery is disabled the speed metrics skyrocket but the EDD dynamic buttons that change from “purchase” to “subscribe and download” when a user selects the free download option become no longer dynamic, and users get dumped in a payment error if they attempt to purchase a free resource while jquery is disabled.

    How can I get my site prepared for Google’s new speed standards and keep EDD active on my site? Any help appreciated.

    Specifically, these are the scripts that google reports are render-blocking:

    jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1
    jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.3.2

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @tdnorrison

    These are the core jQuery which is coming form WordPress core and it requires to work. Some functionality like free download popup OR Buy button text change on click will not work without it.

    You can use any optimization plugin which helps you in this and you can find some useful blogs for this on web also.
