Title: [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Defer JavaScript Parsing Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Defer JavaScript Parsing * [Dusibello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dusibello/) * (@dusibello) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/) * Absolutely brilliant work on this plugin. Has done WONDERS for my Google Page Speed rating. * One issue GPS recommends work on is the following: Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering. * Not sure of where and how to do that in W3TC settings. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/) Viewing 9 replies - 16 through 24 (of 24 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/?output_format=md) 2 * [ravb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravb/) * (@ravb) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508900) * I too am interested in this “deferring” option (can’t find your e-mail address though). * Just one question: when I want to defer some js files, but not all and I still want to combine all the files and place them in the footer; will there be two combined js files? * [Conseil-en-organisation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/conseil-en-organisation/) * (@conseil-en-organisation) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508917) * Hi Frederik, Could you email me the last release wih the defer option please. Thanks. * [a4jp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a4jpcom/) * (@a4jpcom) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508918) * When will the plugin get a standard update with the defer option? Or is that only given to people as an option? * [louises](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louises/) * (@louises) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508919) * Is there somewhere you can fetch this new version with defering option? * [dentvii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dentvii/) * (@dentvii) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508920) * I would also love to test the w3tc with defering. Townes, could you provide a link so we won’t bother on your email? * [melashcott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melashcott/) * (@melashcott) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508921) * Hi Frederick – love your work! Yes please if you have the time to email to me as well.. thank you so much for all your effort. Here’s a link to my website, that goes ok in PageSpeed – but deffering the js parsing will help some more… [http://www.weddingphotographymelbourne.com.au](http://www.weddingphotographymelbourne.com.au) * [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508922) * Hi. * I was wondering if anyone ever got a copy of W3TC with javascript defer built in? * Thanks * [gr8job](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gr8job/) * (@gr8job) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508930) * Hi Frederick, * Is the upgrade to W3TC available yet ? I just installed your excellent plugin and it raised my speed on webpagetest from 66/100 to 77/100 in the first pass. * I have some issues with: 1. Leverage Browser Caching 2. Combine images into CSS sprites 3. Defer Parsing of Javascript * I understand the upgrade mentioned in this thread will address number 3 above, but one of the three JS files mentioned is [http://……/wp-content/w3tc/min/a62d3/index.include.9fc1ab.js](http://……/wp-content/w3tc/min/a62d3/index.include.9fc1ab.js) which looks like a w3tc JS. Does it make sense to defer parsing of this file ? * Could you please advise when the upgrade will be available, and can you give me any tips on items 1 and 2 above ? * Many thanks * [jcapdepuy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcapdepuy/) * (@jcapdepuy) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508932) * Hello, waiting the solution by the plugin I propose you this solution : [http://wpengineer.com/2482/enqueue-bundled-jquery-in-footer/](http://wpengineer.com/2482/enqueue-bundled-jquery-in-footer/) * This solution move the javascript files on the footer, so it’s not The solution for a good total parsing but that’s already a solution 😉 * For example on my website after this manipulation, GTMetrix is almost OK with me 🙂 * All you have to do it’s : -> go to wp-includes/script-loader.php -> go to the bottom of the file and add the solution proposed by the author of the article: * replacing ‘add_action( ‘wp_default_scripts’…..’ line’s * by : * function ds_enqueue_jquery_in_footer( &$scripts ) { * if ( ! is_admin() ) $scripts->add_data( ‘jquery’, ‘group’, 1 ); } add_action(‘ wp_default_scripts’, ‘ds_enqueue_jquery_in_footer’ ); Viewing 9 replies - 16 through 24 (of 24 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/?output_format=md) 2 The topic ‘[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Defer JavaScript Parsing’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/w3-total-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1041806) * [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/reviews/) * 24 replies * 16 participants * Last reply from: [jcapdepuy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcapdepuy/) * Last activity: [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-defer-javascript-parsing/page/2/#post-2508932) * Status: not resolved
