# JSON LD code blocks parallel downloading

 * According to GTmetrix analysis, the JSON+LD code Yoast adds in the middle of 
   the head appears to block parallel downloading, effectively slowing down the 
   entire website. Is there a reason this code can’t be placed in the footer instead?
   If not, is there a way to at least move it to the very end of the head after 
   all other assets? Thanks.

 * Additionally, can it be disabled completely? We spent some time several months
   ago crafting our ld+json data only to find Yoast is now adding it. We’d prefer
   to use ours and prevent Yoast SEO from duplicating out efforts w/ data we don’t
   want.
 * UPDATE: [It can be disabled](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/2536).
