async vs defer Link to heading
- Tweet
- Both
- Doesn’t block page loading and rendering.
- async
- Runs immediately after download.
- No guaranteed execution order (might differ from the order in the HTML)
- Beneficial for stand-alone scripts, not affecting initial DOM.
- defer
- Waits for HTML parsing to finish.
- Maintains script order in the document (beneficial for scripts that rely on each other)
- Beneficial for scripts that are not necessary until the page content has been loaded.
