Great Job. I just wrote an article on wordpress optimization. I'll try this out later tonight and probably add it to the article. Thanks a bunch. Your thoughts on the article would be great : http://codytaylor.org/2009/09/optimize-wordpress.html

Hello Vladimir, first and foremost thank you so much for this plugin. Despite all tweaking, my WP setup felt unbelievably sluggish, and moving the JS to the footer solved that nicely. As you rightly state, it doesn’t make WP faster, but it sure does make it feel a helluva faster.One question: would it be possible to implement an exception list? I have one plugin (the wonderful slimbox 2) that I would like to preload, because I want slimbox effects to appear as soon as the user is able to click on a (now so quickly appearing ;) ) picture… That kind of exception list might also help solve incompatibilities with other plugins.

Hah! I thought it would be hard to improve but that really is a great tip. Version 0.3 out :)

Hi,

simple, but effective - just how I like it. :)

One hint though:

Plugins which inject their own JS code into the footer (ex. JS-based syntax highlighters), rely on their JS files being loaded already (which is normally the case with wp_print_scripts during wp_head). Hence, they add their wp_footer action at the default priority of 10. Depending on loading order, they may stop working after this plugin is activated - as just happened to me right now.

While this can be resolved by lowering each of those plugin's action priority, I thought it'd more appropriate to raise THIS plugin's priority. In my case, it works fine at priority 5.

What do you think? Any alternative solutions?
