Isn’t anybody monitoring this?

Which bit do you want to defer? You’ll need to know the detail in order to make a page speed difference, otherwise you’ll just be shifting the time load and not making it smaller.
Hi Andrew,
I want to defer most of the the javascript. First I was using W3 Total Cache, but that didn’t let me defer the the javascript.
I now try and use the Speed Booster Pack, but there also I can’t use the defer parsing of javascript, because then the site isn’t working right.
I also can’t put the script, both js and css in the footer. Then my site doesn’t work well either.
So this is theme related.
I also tried to put a defer script in the functions.php, but that doesn’t work either.
I have already read a lot about it, but I think the technical stuff is too difficult for me to try to solve that.
This is what GTmetrix says: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.patriciakaas.nl/cE3FfKgY
I was using a CDN, but am thinking of stopping with that. Want to reduce the costs of my website.
This is the link to my website: http://www.patriciakaas.nl/blog/
So if you have any ideas, it would be great.

Is this issue specific to your theme? If yes, please post here: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/tempera#postform
How come you posted in the ‘Custom’ theme section for support?
Yes I think this is theme specific. I am using the Custom Theme of Tempera.
I will post it it the Tempera forum also then. Thanks.

You mean you’re using a child theme? The ‘Custom’ theme is not related to Tempera.
Oh that is confusing then. I am using what is called “Custom” in Tempera.
I thought this was the forum for that.
Sorry.
