 * Hello,
 * I ran my web site through one of those SEO tools and it suggested something called
   jquery to allow the page to load faster. I thought I’d get your thoughts on if
   I should do that and if it is the best plugin for that.
 * Thanks.

 * jQuery is a javascript library that is bundled with WordPress. Some developers
   use it; some don’t. When it is used, it has to be loaded, so that slows things
   down.
 * I think you are misunderstanding what the SEO tool told you.
    You don’t just “
   do that”, and have the page load faster. If jQuery is being used, it is coded
   however it is coded. To make it asynchronous, it needs to be coded differently.
   You can speed up the page by reducing scripts used. You can also ask plugin authors
   to make the scripts load asynchronously, or move them to load in the footer instead
   of blocking the header.
