 * Hello Frank,
    need your help/advice. Have AO and Fastest Cache and untill last
   week and last AO update it worked great. Minifying CSS and JS in WP fastest cache
   is disabled; in AO had enabled: Optimize JS, aggregate JS-files, aggregate inline
   JS, Force JavaScript in <head>. After last week update, images on site disappeared,
   and when disable “Force JavaScript in <head>” they are back BUT site is much,
   much slower. Any suggestion what to change to get back as it was? Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fjava-script-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * “force JS in head” is actually discouraged, as it makes the JS render-blocking.
   based on what do you consider the page faster when forced on head?

 * don’t focus on fully loaded, but check “first paint” and “onload” instead 🙂
