Defer parsing of Javascript means using ” defer ” or ” async ” to avoid render blocking of a page. This HTML command instructs the browser to execute/parse the scripts after (defer) or asynchronously (in parallel) to the page loading. This allows the content to show without waiting for the scripts to be loaded.
What is the purpose of defer?
The defer is a Boolean value, used to indicate that script is executed after the document has been parsed. It works only with external scripts (i.e., works only when we are specifying the src attribute in <script> tag).
What is defer and async?
Async vs Defer With async, the file gets downloaded asynchronously and then executed as soon as it’s downloaded. With defer, the file gets downloaded asynchronously, but executed only when the document parsing is completed. With defer, scripts will execute in the same order as they are called.
