Loading combined/minified js as async or defer?

  • Hello!

    Firstly, fantastic plugin. I have used others in the past but this is by far the lightest and simplest.

    Second, my question:

    I was using a function to load all .js with defer attributes.

    However, the minified/combined .js your plugin creates isn’t affected by my function which targets scripts with url ending ‘.js’.

    Is there a way around this? I am open to any suggestions!

    Thanks in advance!

    I was using a function to load all .js with defer attributes.

    Do you make it with php? What kind of way do you follow for doing it?

    Hello Emre,

    Yes I use php. Very simple:

    ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) and exit;

if ( ! function_exists( 'add_defer_to_all' ) )
{
    function add_defer_to_all( $url )
    {
    if ( FALSE === strpos( $url, '.js' ) ) return $url;
    if ( strpos( $url, 'jquery.min.js' ) ) return $url; // except jquery lib
    return "$url' defer='defer";
    }
    add_filter( 'clean_url', 'add_defer_to_all', 11, 1 );
}

    hmm. but after caching php does not work. you should make it with js. now I decided to implement this feature ??

    Yeah I had considered js.

    Adding this feature would be great!

    You may have noticed I included

    if ( strpos( $url, 'jquery.min.js' ) ) return $url;

    This is to stop jquery.min.js library from loading by defer as some jquery was attempting to load before library had loaded – something worth considering when you add the feature.

    In the meantime I will try and implement myself!

    Thanks
