Title: How to edit the javascript calls Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # How to edit the javascript calls * [phpchick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phpchick/) * (@phpchick) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-edit-the-javascript-calls/) * My website is running a little slow at the moment. My tool suggests that I make the javascript calls asynchronous because currently the browser has to wait until they’re loaded to start loading. * I want to go into each of the calls and add the “async” keyword but I cannot find where they are actually located. * In header.php there is only a reference to `` * when I go into functions.php and search for wp_head, I find this * `add_action( 'wp_head', 'device_detect' );` * If I go to general_template in the wp-includes folder and look for wp_head, I only get this * ``` function wp_head() { /** * Print scripts or data in the head tag on the front end. * * @since 1.5.0 */ do_action( 'wp_head' ); } ``` * Colud someone throw me a bone? * The cliffs notes is, i have things like this `` * in my of my wordpress that I want to change to async, so that my page loads a little faster.
