The only blocking script is Autoptimize himself. If i try to uncheck “force JS into head” the site don´t load. I think the script is important to load the theme.

At that point the excluded JS would at probably be render-blocking, so you would be going in circles really. But once you know which JS (and which plugin) needs JS loaded early, you could look for alternatives for that plugin? * Hope this clarifies, frank * [pattex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pattex/) * (@pattex) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript-from-autoptimze/#post-7129973) * Hello Frank, * thank you for your quick answer. Where can I find the file which the sequence of the scripts defines? It is the functions.php in theme folder or a other? * Best regards, Patrick * Plugin Author [Frank Goossens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/futtta/) * (@futtta) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript-from-autoptimze/#post-7129974) * > Where can I find the file which the sequence of the scripts defines?

If you’re into coding, you can print_r the contents of $wp_scripts( if I’m not mistaking) to see what JS has been queued for output. * frank * [pattex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pattex/) * (@pattex) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript-from-autoptimze/#post-7129975) * Oh no. I think this is too complicated for me.
