In reply to jessi. The concept's a little different. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

Can this be amended for css?

So I defer and async all my scripts including the jquery, and I get an 88/100 on mobile page speed. But I have issues due to deferring jquery. So when I exclude that one, my score goes all the way from 88/100 to 67/100.

There has to be a way to get better scores and that is such a huge hit.

Great article and real world demonstration. I cannot seem to get the ASYNC to work, I tried using the full url without the ?ver=1.5.2 and with the ?ver=1.5.2 at the end of the url…as it shows up on view page source. Neither works. Google Page Speed is still giving me a very bad report. Not sure what to try next…

Thanks for the nice post. Next: a plugin that does some or all of the steps?

In reply to Miles Fink. Thanks, Miles! Should be fixed. That's the page parsing rather than displaying HTML tags I accidentally left in our syntax highlighter. :)
