Delay Execution of JS Scripts with JavaScript

Improve your Google Pagespeed Insights score by delaying the execution of below-the-fold third-party functionality such as commenting scripts, help bots, reCAPTCHA, Share This, Cookie Scripts, and more.

Async and Defer can really make a massive difference in improving Pagespeed Insights score, to go that extra mile to achieve a higher Pagespeed Insights score (PSI), try this.

Delay the JS script execution
Code:
<script>
setTimeout(function(){
loadJs("third-party-script.js");
},5000);
</script>

This script delays "third-party-script.js" for 5000 milliseconds, allowing plenty of time for all the async and defer scripts to load.

Load after everything else
Code:
<script>
window.onload = function() {
loadJs("third-party-script.js");
}
</script>

This script will fire after everything else has loaded.

And lastly, the jQuery DomReady snippet.
Code:
<script>
define(['jquery','domReady!'], function($) {

// Your Code

}(jQuery)
);
</script>

Either of these options will help to improve your Google Pagespeed Insights score. I cannot confirm though if they will improve your Core Web Vitals. I need to gather more data. I will update this post accordingly.
