I ran a speed test because my site is loading very slow. The speed test says the following:

721.3KiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering.

Please advise how I would go about deferring parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering. I am very much a novice and don’t understand what this means.

Hello writeonepub,

unfortunately we can not log into your admin panel as admin credentials you gave us are incorrect.
Please check them. In addition try to disable all not needed plugins.

Regards,
Stan Russell.

I don’t have any plug-ins that aren’t needed. I’ve updated the log-in credentials in the private area.

Thanks!

I tried each of the solutions on the page you suggested and received an error message for each. Is this something you can do for me? I have no experience doing anything like this.

Hello,

The credentials to wp-admin panel are incorrect.
Also specify what folder via FTP your site files are located in.

Thank you.

Eva Kemp.

Hello,

I’ve added the code in the file wp-content/themes/royal/functions.php:

if(!is_admin()) { // Move all JS from header to footer remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_scripts'); remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_head_scripts', 9); remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 1); add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_print_scripts', 5); add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 5); add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_print_head_scripts', 5); }

Please clear browser cache and check the site.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

I checked the site and when the page loads, it loads incorrectly. It first loads with what looks to be a sitemap, then two menus appear, and then finally it loads correctly. Also I just ran it through GTMetrix and the page load time has increased. Please advise.

I disabled the cache and it is still loading the same way. Please just restore the original functions.php. Thanks!

Hello,

I’ve removed the code in functions.php file.
Now it contains only default code.
