 * I have been using this plugin for a few weeks and I noticed that there are a 
   couple of issues when jquery is defered and there are blocks of code (NOT inline
   but on external scripts which depend on jQuery.js) like
 * `jQuery( document ).on( 'ready', function() {...`
 * Those are not executed and don’t even throw a javascript error in the console!–
   I was surprised by the last one.
 * However something like this below works perfectly fine
 *     ```
       document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
       	...
       }, false);
       ```
   
 * Is there any way to handle this behavior without making render blocking the jquery.
   js?

 * I honestly have no idea I’m afraid Drazon, sorry … Maybe jQuery wizards could
   help you out here, on StackOverflow.com or something along those lines?
