Tried numerous plugins none of them work. Adding to the problem is I cannot use W3 total cache. * Looking for a step by step guide on how a non-geek person can to the changes manually or a plugin that really works? * [Watch Teller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watchteller/) * (@watchteller) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991223) * Please move forward to others tools for page speed test. Because twitter, mashable and facebook almost same score like you and me. Please compare your score with them. * My advise to use webpagetest tools and webpagetest forum to improve your site and search your solution there for time saving. They have great advisor there in forum. * Cheers if you have better scores than them. ^.^ * [baliharish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baliharish/) * (@baliharish) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991224) * I agree with watch teller, that we should move on , i tried webpagetest dot org but can’t really understand their outcome, it is for techies i guess. * meanwhile i noticed that twitter and facebook also have low scores in mobile on page insight by google.. but they have a 100/100 score on desktop. well that atleast we can aim to achieve but for that to happen someone should help on this forum to answer…. * [Watch Teller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watchteller/) * (@watchteller) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991225) * Their desktop score Twitter 80/100, facebook 88/100, Mashable 73//100. May be different test zone/area. * FYI regard webpagetest, any page load speed, the **first byte** (amount in time the server spent building the page for user) and **start render** (first point in time that something was displayed to the screen) very important. Refer [https://site.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/using-webpagetest/quick-start-quide](https://site.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/using-webpagetest/quick-start-quide) * webpagetest provided **advance setting** for 1st time viewer and repeat view; capture Video for yr site speed; number of tests to run (normally 3 runs); lots of test server locations; IE version, Chrome, Firefox, Safari browser test & etc….. * You can check cdn1, cdn2, cdn3, cdn4 parallel download sizes and number of HTTP request across different browser, fisrt bytes, start render. Standard recommendation was split resources equally to 4 cdn to gain parallel download benifits. * ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ * [Watch Teller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watchteller/) * (@watchteller) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991226) * Hints! * If your 1st bytes 10% lower of your load time get Grade A; * Start Render time must fast completed before Load Time **if not** user will display nothing (blank) untill completed render resorces (start render time slower then load time). * If not mistaken for PageSpeed insight, your need fast displaying 50%+ above screen for user will gain PASS for above-the-fold. I think I will not PASSED if I use lazy load plugin for image to speed-up my page load. * ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ * [baliharish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baliharish/) * (@baliharish) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991227) * Friend – I am unable to follow your comments may be because you are using language which someone who is at a good technology level can understand better.

Tried w3 total cache – which minifies and combines into on js file, adds async, but breaks many JS script functionalities. * 2. Many of the plugins for social sharing use normal js files, which has to use async code. for e.g plusone.js. * If this feature is integrated in WP, it will save many sites from SEO penalty. * [meravjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meravjon/) * (@meravjon) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/render-blocking-javascript/page/2/#post-3991230) * After I modify the setting I did achieve results.

Correct direction to remove version & the query string “?”. * All files have browser cache header. I think the only reason was the php script( php?ver…) to output the css files. Try to avoid it. * For 1st & 2nd, are you using auto minify? * Are you using child theme? If you **Manual Minify CSS**, need enable the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) handling at **Performance** > **Minify** > **Minify CSS Setting** section. * All external URL CSS & JS not encourage browser cache, cannot done anything via w3tc browser cache setting, because they keep on changing or improve the css & js files. * refer to your page speed test [http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.best-seo.co.il/1qsPSceC](http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.best-seo.co.il/1qsPSceC) * Please focus on the hight to low priority task.
