 * I have a question about the delayed scripts interface: The documentation says
   I can use wildcards for delaying inline scripts. Can I use wildcards for external
   URLs? And if there is a querystring on the end of the url, like a cache buster
   or an ID parameter, can I exclude that and still have the script delayed? Thanks!

 * Hello [@chris-chalmers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chris-chalmers/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out!
 * You can delay external scripts by adding the URL, and you can also include a 
   wildcard there.
 * For example, you can place the wildcard like this  `*[domain.com/script.js*](http://domain.com/script.js*)`,
   which will include all URL parameters even if it is changed. This way, you ensure
   that the script is indeed delayed even if the URL is somehow changed.
   I hope 
   this information helps!
