Rule 6 - Put Scripts at the Bottom

Example 3 - Scripts at the Top

Roundtrip response time:

This page contains a <SCRIPT SRC="..."> tag at the top of the page in the document HEAD. Just as in the previous example, anything below the script is blocked from rendering and downloading until after the script is loaded. In this case, that means the entire page is delayed, since the script is in the document HEAD.
