[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Defer JavaScript Parsing

I too am interested in this “deferring” option (can’t find your e-mail address though).

Just one question: when I want to defer some js files, but not all and I still want to combine all the files and place them in the footer; will there be two combined js files?

When will the plugin get a standard update with the defer option? Or is that only given to people as an option?

I would also love to test the w3tc with defering. Townes, could you provide a link so we won’t bother on your email?

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone ever got a copy of W3TC with javascript defer built in?

Thanks

Hello, waiting the solution by the plugin I propose you this solution :
http://wpengineer.com/2482/enqueue-bundled-jquery-in-footer/

This solution move the javascript files on the footer, so it’s not The solution for a good total parsing but that’s already a solution 😉

For example on my website after this manipulation, GTMetrix is almost OK with me 🙂

All you have to do it’s :
-> go to wp-includes/script-loader.php
-> go to the bottom of the file and add the solution proposed by the author of the article :

replacing ‘add_action( ‘wp_default_scripts’…..’ line’s

by :

function ds_enqueue_jquery_in_footer( &$scripts ) {

if ( ! is_admin() )
$scripts->add_data( ‘jquery’, ‘group’, 1 );
}
add_action( ‘wp_default_scripts’, ‘ds_enqueue_jquery_in_footer’ );
