Head.js is a script to asynchronously load and manage dependencies of javascript and CSS assets.
This plugin loads the scripts and styles enqueued in footer with the head.js loader. It does not include head.js’ feature detection.
Head.js.wp assumes that scripts are loaded via wp_enqueue_script() and that any script enqueued in the <head> intends to be loaded before the rest of the page.
