Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Flying Scripts: Delay JavaScript to Improve Site Speed & Performance version 1.2.5 as active, updated 23d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Download and execute JavaScript on user interaction.
Demo video
Flying Scripts delay the execution of JavaScript until there is no user activity. You can specify keywords to include JavaScripts to be delayed. There is also a timeout which executes JavaScript when there is no user activity.
Why should I use this plugin?
JavaScript is very resource-heavy. By delaying the execution of non-critical JavaScript (that are not needed for the initial render), you’re prioritizing and giving more resources to critical JavaScript files. This way you will reduce render time, time to interactive, first CPU idle, max Potential input delay etc.
This will also reduce initial payload to browsers by reducing the no. of requests.
