Can you confirm my understanding of HTML5's <script async> attribute? Any libraries referenced by other code in the page should not specify the async attribute. For example, my script references might appropriately look like: <script src="jquery..." /> <!-- async not used - ensure that this is loaded before JQuery UI and my code --> <script src="jquery.ui..." /> <!-- async not used - ensure that this is loaded before my code --> <script src="my_code1.js" async /> <!-- async used, for page load performance --> <script src="my_code2.js" async /> <!-- async used, for page load performance --> For any code in a $(document).ready(function () { } block, I can be assured that all async script have already loaded. Do I have this right? Source: Tips4all
