You can obviously inline the CSS like we did for CSS Drop-caps. Then the javascript can be injected with more optimized way :
1 2 3 4 | <script src="https://thecustomizewindows.cachefly.net/wp-content/themes/my-theme/custom-js/js/wow.min.js" async defer>execOnReady(function(){execOnReady(function(){});});</script> <script> new WOW().init(); </script> |
async defer will be supported by over 90% browsers. In other words, there is no impact on Google Page Speed Insights score. execOnReady(function(){execOnReady(function(){});}); will instruct to only get the js executed upon being everything is being downloaded – no blank fire.
