 * Ok, I installed your plugin and I’m testing the speed of the website we just 
   finished but I do have a question.
 * Sometimes the speed test results vary and I wanted to make sure the plugin is
   propperly configured before I make up any conclusions.
 * In the plugin settings, I picked the options “Defer”. JQuery is set to “Exclude”.
   Now, in the boxes bellow, “Scripts to Async” and “Scripts to Defer”, do I need
   to add some scripts there or the plugin applies globally to every script even
   if I don’t add any? I added the current child theme to the theme exceptions but
   can try removing if it doesn’t hurt the site functionality.
 * With all this, I feel the tests are getting better results, but then again, I’ve
   seen worst and better results without changing anything, thats why I’m asking
   this.

 * the plugin should indeed apply to all scripts msdesignfoto
 * results can vary because e.g. ad/ affiliate networks or multi-variate testing
   services can push different JS every time, impacting overall performance. additionally
   the network path followed between the test-instance and the server can be different/
   impacted by external factors.
 * hope this clarifies,
