 * Trying to speed up my page, and no plugins that help with defering or move the
   JS script to the bottom are helping. What can be done?

 * The script is deferred by default and shouldn’t slow the loading of the page 
   at all. Depending on how you measure the page load, this could be a false positive
   on slow loading. See this support article we made about this: [https://support.swarmify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043736033-Why-is-my-page-slower-after-installing-SmartVideo-](https://support.swarmify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043736033-Why-is-my-page-slower-after-installing-SmartVideo-)

 * Ok i Understand, but this is showing up in google page speed [https://snipboard.io/FLg2bs.jpg](https://snipboard.io/FLg2bs.jpg)
 * Ideally also, i want to defer the whole script because I want to prevent videos
   loading until the DOM is ready and loaded (then i can avoid using a lazy load)

 * We already handle lazy loading videos so if you are also doing that on your side,
   you can remove that functionality as the double lazy load causes the videos to
   load even slower.
 * As for why the deferred loading isn’t working in your case, would like to investigate
   further with you but will need some info about your website.
 * Since this is a public forum, might be best to send a support request to [support@swarmify.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/defer-loading-script/support@swarmify.com?output_format=md)
   and we can interact there to look at the site and figure it out. Just reference
   our discussion on the WordPress forum and they will make sure it gets assigned
   to me for continuity.
