When Autoptimize is added to Async JavaScript Facebook shares stop working

Hi Michael;
Where on the site (on which page and where on that page approx.) should I be able to see share count?

Hi Frank! The sharing icons are located on the bottom left side of every page. My site and posts (I’m a job board) are primarily posted to Facebook. For example, my homepage has been shared 81 times and now it shows nothing.

Thanks!
Mike

OK, can you try unticking the also aggregate inline JS option?

That seems to have solved the problem with Facebook shares showing but my PageSpeed score on GTmetrix dropped to 67 and under defer parsing of JavaScript there’s still a lot from Google. Any ideas on what I can do about that?

Afraid the share count probably depends on multiple requests being done, impacting pagespeed score somewhat (although I see 76%).

The Google ones are you Google Ads I’m afraid.

I was hoping a setting would help with the Google ones too.

Hmm, you could _try_ asyncing them, but that comes with the risk of your ads breaking.

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your help.

In the scripts to Async section what all do I include? Everything that is being shown in GTmetrix or only part of it?

For example, this:

Or just part of it?

It’s already asynced actually;

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Indeed looks like a GTMetrics fluke; Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool does _not_ list the requests as render-blocking: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polk.work%2F&tab=desktop

Gotcha. Again, thanks for your help! I think my next step will be ditching WP Super Cache for WP Rocket to see how much more that can help. Have a good one!

You’re welcome Michael, feel free to leave a review of the plugin and support here! ??

Done!
