Yes. I think that will be a very beneficial feature to have added. Being able to defer minified script should improve my site scores in GTMetrix. Incidentally, I’m not sure how accurately GTMetrix measures real-world performance compared to other performace tools out there. It seems that it’s awfully hard to get even a decent score with that tool, much less anything close to perfect. But I’m a photographer so my site is very image-intensive too.

I ended up uninstalling the Async plugin. It just didn’t want to play nice with the WP-Optimize plugin I have installed. I was having odd conflicts where things would work and then a few minutes later wouldn’t work on the front-end.

I enjoyed the Async plugin and feel that is useful, I just couldn’t use both WP-Optimize and Async at the same time with my particular theme. I wish that I could use both, but it doesn’t seem to work with both enabled. Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot with me.

I’ve excluded both my theme and wp-includes/js. In the scripts to exclude box within the plugin I have “wp-includes/js” without quotes. Is this correct? The problem still exists.

Hello,
My apologies for that. I had a fatel error which I had to fix. The site should be up and running now.

Thank you!

Hi @optimizingmatters,

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot this with me. I’ve turned off WP-Optimize’s minifying capability so it should be easier to see the actual script names in Chrome’s developer module.

Edit: I probably wasn’t clear regarding the slideshow. Normally, visitors to the homepage of my site would see a slideshow of my images in the brown area below the top menu. With Async enabled (jquery excluded) this slideshow disappears.
Regards,
Brad
