gulp-defer
Moves render blocking javascript and css into a deferred loading section.
It is likely to be helpful if you get "Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content" warning from PageSpeed Insights results
See https://varvy.com/pagespeed/defer-loading-javascript.html for more information on how to address this warning
Installation
npm install gulp-deferUsage
Example gulp task:
var gulp = require("gulp"),
defer = require("gulp-defer");
gulp.task('html:release', function() {
return gulp.src(conf.tmp_dir + '/*.html')
.pipe($.usemin({
css: [
$.minifyCss(),
'concat',
$.rev()
],
js: [
$.uglify(),
$.rev()
]
}))
.pipe(defer())
.pipe(gulp.dest(conf.dist_dir));
});
Blocks
Blocks are expressed as:
<!--defer-->
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers/thing-controller.js"></script>
<script src="js/models/thing-model.js"></script>
<script src="js/views/thing-view.js"></script>
<!--enddefer-->An example of a page using defer blocks ca be seen below:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<!--defer-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font.css"/>
<!--enddefer-->
<!--defer-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/libs/vendor/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/libs/vendor/isMobile.min.js"></script>
<!--enddefer-->
</head>
<body>
<div id="content" class="content">
Loading...
</div>
</body>
</html>The result after processing with gulp-defer will be:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<div id="content" class="content">
