 * With Core Web Vitals being important in May, Google Pagespeed is flagging jQuery
   blocking rendering. I have disable every plug and can confirm my last plugin 
   is this one that still triggers jQuery. Are there plans to move to a non jQuery
   dependent version soon?

 * [@mealto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mealto/) I didn’t realise this 
   was something to be concerned about… thanks for enlightening me about the jQuery
   issue.
 * I will add something to the next version that will allow for disabling of the
   JavaScript (i.e. the `/wp/js/js.js` load) until there’s a proper resolution.
 * Once this is available, I recommend writing your own JavaScript to fill in the
   gaps – the “Read more” link and a few other minor functionality points. It isn’t
   very much so it wouldn’t take long to make a substitute.

 * [@mealto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mealto/) I am adding a new option
   to disable the loading of JavaScript (similar to the CSS) – in the options table
   you will need to add (or set):
 * `google_business_reviews_rating_javascript` to: `0`
 * This will run from **Version 3.31** onwards.
 * In the meantime, I will look into a vanilla JavaScript version or maybe a hybrid…
 * Do you think something like this would work within one included JavaScript file(
   and no jQuery dependency in the enqueue)?
 *     ```
       if (!window.jQuery)
       {
       	// Do some Vanilla stuff
       }
       ```
