Optimise jQuery on some specific pages

    Hey Frank,

    Thanks for this great plug-in. I just have a question about jQuery though. I’m only using it in any major way on my homepage, which features a slider. The others don’t need it, however jQuery is still acting as render-blocking JavaScript and giving me a poor PageSpeed score.

    Is there any configuration which allows me to optimize jQuery on every page except my homepage?

    Thanks,

    James

    good question @zetland ??

    this can be accomplished by removing js/jquery/jquery.js from the list of AO JS optimization exclusions and a couple of lines of code against AO’s API actually, something like this (warning; untested code);

    add_filter('autoptimize_filter_js_exclude','exclude_jq_hp',10,1);
function exclude_jq_hp($in) {
    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        return $in.",js/jquery/jquery.js";
    } else {
        return $in;
    }
}

    hope this helps,
    frank

    Thanks Frank, which plugin file should I add this to though?

    not to a plugin file (in general those shouldn’t be touched). the safest/ easiest way to add the code is by installing the code snippets plugin.

    Is the is_front_page() function undefined? I’ve added the exact code as it is, but it doesn’t seem to be blocking jQuery from any page.

    well, the code was step 2, but did you also try step 1;

    removing js/jquery/jquery.js from the list of AO JS optimization exclusions

    Ah hell, sorry about that. Working very nicely now.
