Website JS Below The Fold

This module moves Javascript assets to the bottom of the page (below the fold) preventing your website having render-blocking Javascript.

When a visitor enters your website the browser will parse the HTML result. Whenever the parser encounters a script, it has to load and execute the script before it can continue parsing. So with render-blocking Javascript (e.g. in the head tag) the time to render the above the fold content increases.

Without render-blocking Javascript (by e.g. loading it below the fold) the page first render occurs faster. This may result in various benefits e.g. lower bounce rate.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Moves the website's JavaScript files to the bottom of the page so pages render faster for visitors. Website editors still get the scripts loaded at the top so the editing tools keep working.

This module changes how the standard Odoo website page is built, so that JavaScript files are no longer loaded in the page head. Instead, for normal visitors the scripts are loaded at the bottom of the page, after the visible content. This means the browser can show the page content sooner, because it does not have to wait for scripts before drawing the page.

  • For regular visitors, the common and frontend JavaScript assets are moved to the bottom of the page.
  • For users who have website editing rights (publishers), the scripts stay at the top of the page, because the editing tools need them immediately.
  • The module only changes the website layout template; it does not add menus, models, reports or scheduled actions.

It works by modifying the main website layout, so it applies to all website pages. No configuration is needed: once installed, the behaviour is automatic. The module depends on the standard Website app and does not touch sales, inventory or accounting data.
