Enabling Async JavaScript

  • Every time I go to enable Async JavaScript in the settings and save it defaults back to disabled. I had this working for a day, ran a speed test on Uptrends, and then noticed that it would no longer stay active. I do see that this plugin hasn’t been updated in 6 months so I’m not sure if it’s compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

    Thoughts?

    Well, it is compatible with WordPress 5.5.x, so that’s not the problem.

    So if I understand correctly the plugin remains active, but when going to the setting page some settings have changed again, but not immediately? so it works and then after x hours or days it does not any more? and has this happened repeatably?

    After install it stayed active for a day. I ran a page speed test and it did the job, doubling the speed score. Now, when I check it the JavaScript optimization says disabled. I try to enable it, resave the settings, but will not stay enabled.

    my money is on a plugin conflict of some kind brodezign, if you’re up for it you could disable other plugins (and if needed switch themes briefly) and see if settings do “take” in that case and then re-enable plugins one at a time keeping an eye on resulting source HTML (which should have “defer” or “async” multiple times)?
