This plugin actually makes it fun to deal with the “render blocking stuff”. Just
brilliant!

The only issue I found with this is the UI – when you have a lot of files and want
to move those to another area it takes forever to scroll the files up and down. 
It would be much nicer to have checkboxes and a dropdown selection of the desired
operation, much like the WP Media manager has. Other than that, it’s a great tool
to fine tune where all your files should load – with just a few moves I got one 
site scoring 20% more on PageSpeed.

This is an amazing plugin. It works perfectly and the UI is super intuitive. I highly
recommend you give it a try.

### 󠀁[Love it!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-1651/)󠁿

I was using Hummingbird, but latest updates with minifying on their server is not
good. This is really great, finnaly good defer plugin with lovely and easy settings.
I can only left in header jquery core with Hummingbird I had to left almost all 
jquery files in the header. Pretty much increase Page Speed score. Only cons is 
no compress option, but it’s providing faster loading of content and 0.3MB that 
could Hummingbird saved for the price of not defer loading is nothing. I recommend
use this plugin with: – Crazy Lazy (lazy load images best for fast loading sites)–
Comet Cache (or other cache plugins, also enable minifying, didn’t tested if this
plugin can detect combined files) For inexperience users there should be some advice
about jquery loading. Thx for this plugin! I’m hoping for future support.

Setting up and configuring this plugin took me quite some time, especially compared
to an easy to use plugin like autoptimize. But using the additional settings the
plugin provided I achieved much better results. Conclusion: Takes some time – but
is worth it. Great Plugin!
