pilotguy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Can anyone make some suggestions on the best way to achieve this? I've been looking at my GTMetrix report and I have 3 items to improve, one being "Defer parsing of Javascript." I've done a bit of searching and applied some code in the global template but it doesn't appear to have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDBF Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hi, I assume that you have already selected the option to have Javascript include location just before the /body tag in templates/edit/custom options? That should go a long way to helping out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I do and no, it hasn't changed a thing according to GTmetrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I just confirmed the GTmetrix a moment ago, doing another test since the last one (8 hrs prior) - The score remains 18% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this: Download these JS and Upload them on your server. Edit your code template and load these JS from your server. This will solve your problem Defer parsing.

pilotguy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 What templates actually would I be editing? The block itself for example for the top 3 big offenders up there are YOUTUBE video embeds using iframes in a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of using a service like Cloudflare? This could have a dramatic effect on your score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before optimization speed you need to fix these errors. see below In addition to these errors on the following number of rows from your source: 1073, 1109, 1143, 1181, 1215, 1249 and 1283 you have redundant closing tag "</a>" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go the the admin area, click on 'Customization' tab at the left-hand side and then 'Themes'. Click on the edit button of the theme you want to change, select the 'Custom' tab and change the ' Javascript include location' option to use ' Just before </body> tag' and save. Your JavaScript should be at the bottom of the page now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
