 * I’m trying to speed up my theme by reducing the number of render-blocking JavaScript
   files. Two of them that are showing up are from my /wp-includes folder and they
   are:
 * jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1
    js/json2.min.js?ver=2011-02-23
 * The others are from the theme’s library folder. I’ve tried a plugin which loads
   Javascript asynchronously but then I lost some frontend functionally.
 * So I’ve installed your plugin but as far as I can see, it only adds another script
   to the render blocking list:
 * [http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js)
 * Any advice? Thanks

 * UGL does not add any scripts. It updates where some of the core WordPress scripts
   are loaded from. That same script is loaded without UGL, but from your local 
   install (which means more requests to the same host, which means it’s more likely
   to block longer).

 * Ok thanks. One more thing…can the scripts that UGL updates still be minified 
   or should they be left alone? Thanks

 * They are already minified and compressed by Google.
