Example 5 - Scripts Block Downloads

Any components below a script aren't downloaded until after the script is loaded, regardless of hostname. This page contains:

The first two images are downloaded, but even though the browser supports downloading two or more components per hostname in parallel, the latter two images aren't downloaded until after the script is done loading.

 

The <SCRIPT SRC="..."> tag is here.

Once you see this text it means the script is done loading. Now these latter images are downloaded.
