Poor google page speed

  • Hi Thomas,

    Just checked the google pagespeed of my page. Google doesn’t like blocking js above the fold. I think it should be totally fine to load the front.js deferred. That you think?

    That’s the function i normally use for deferred loading. Maybe it helps you

    (function(w,d)) {
    function f () {
        var e = d.createElement("script");
        e.src = "/image-source-control-isc/js/front-js.js";
        d.body.appendChild(e);
    }
    if (w.addEventListener) w.addEventListener("load", f, false);
    else if (w.attachEvent) w.attachEvent("onload", f);
    else w.onload = f;
} (window,document);

    I think dynamically creating the script element should load the script asyn and defer it. So:

    (function(d) {
        var e = d.createElement("script");
        e.src = "/wp-sript-url/.../front-js.js";
        d.body.appendChild(e);
}) (document);

    should be finde

    Thank you, funnyprinter, for your suggestion. How about just moving the script to the footer?

    Yes, playing around with this, however doesn’t work for me with w3cache probably right now. Maybe just a misconfiguration.

    Another idea: instead of writing the text into a own span and positing this over the image an option would be to add the source to the caption of the image? Maybe with a trigger in the options pane to decide where the source should be.

    The advantage of this would be that no js would be necessary. Google page speed prefers to be able to render without js in the above the fold part of the webpage.

    I might think about including the source to the caption, but there would be no positioning above the image than and it would also not update automatically, because the caption is just a shortcode written into the post.

    As for the js: try something like Better WP Minify.
