Why site speed is important?

• 40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load.
• A 1 second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions.
• If an e-commerce site is making $100,000 per day, a 1 second page delay could potentially cost you $2.5 million in lost sales every year.

Moreover, fast page load is important for Google rankings!

So visit the extension page to get more details and boost your site speed!

There is a very useful way to optimize Magento 2 site speed is deferring JavaScript loading till the last moment after all HTML and CSS. It means that JavaScript files are put to the end of page, therefore the web browser will load HTM and CSS before loading these JavaScript files. This leads to loading time be reduced and magento site perform faster than before.

To make this JavaScript parsing easier, we had better not do it manually, let's use an extension instead because of convenience and simplicity: Defer JavaScript for Magento 2

For Magento 1 websites, Defer JavaScript is also useful to speed up and improve user experience by delaying JavaScript loading till the last moment. This way is especially meaningful for Magento 1 sites because Magento 1 does not support deferring JavaScript like Magento 2
