Hello @joshdb,
After reviewing the support thread, it seems the issue may indeed be related to the way scripts are being loaded. To delve deeper into the problem, please reactivate the plugin and then disable the “Defer Render-blocking JavaScript” option in the Speed Optimizer. You can find this setting by navigating to WP-admin -> Speed Optimizer -> Frontend -> JavaScript. Afterward, clear both the website and server-side caches and conduct another test. If the issue persists even with this feature turned off, please disable the combine and minify JavaScript optimizations and test once more. Additionally, could you please provide us what the jQuery script examples from the other thread look like when the plugin is deactivated?
Our plugin provides a variety of Media optimization features, one of which is Lazy Load. You can find more information about the Media Optimization options available here:
https://siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/speed-optimizer/image-optimizations/
Conducting these tests will help us narrow down the issue. Once you have completed the above tests, please update this thread, and we will continue our investigation.
Best Regards,
Tsvetan Mitev
I reinstalled the Speed Optimizer plugin and the issue returned.
After disabling the “Defer Render-blocking JavaScript” setting, it seems to resolve the issue.
This setting is enabled by default, so I imagine I’m not the first person that this has been an issue for.
