 * This plugin is the best by the way, just wanted to put that out there first. 
   I hope this is user error but none of the functionality for excluded scripts,
   plugins or themes works. Please help, I am using version 2.18.12.10. Thank you

 * Please visit https: //cms-uat-spr.unataops.com. I have “sfm-flipp.min.js,sfm-
   dotm.min.js,sfm-barcode.min.js,sfm-global.min.js,header-sync.min.js” added to
   Script Exclusion and they appear to not be excluded. I can even verify this when
   I run a gtmetrix.com report, the rating stays the same whether the scripts are
   excluded or not. I would think that if they were excluded they would be listed
   in the “deferring Javascript” test on gtmetrix.com.
 * The default method is Async.

 * sfm-flipp.min.js, sfm-dotm.min.js, sfm-barcode.min.js are not referenced directly
   in your HTML, so asyncJS can not know about those and can not impact how they
   are loaded.
 * sfm-global.min.js and header-sync.min.js are in your HTML and they have been 
   succesfully excluded, as per this screenshot of the relevant part of the HTML
   where you’ll see the async flag is not being set on those 2;

 * Where in the world are you seeing this? lol. I dont see async applied to anything
   really so I was curious as to what magic that plugin was working to make it all
   happen.
 * I dont understand…

 * Awwww I think its not showing me on my view because Im logged into the admin 
   console, and this has been the issue the entire time lol! See I knew it had to
   be user error as everything works way too perfectly to be a bug! Keep up the 
   good work and thank you!

   I figured it out, it wasn’t showing me because I was logged in as admin, when
   I went incognito I saw it now. This is a good thing 🙂
