Overview
This small plugin moves scripts to the footer. Note that this only works if you have plugins and a theme that utilizes wp_enqueue_scripts correctly.
You can disable the plugin on specific pages and posts directly via the post/page edit screen metabox.
You can disable the plugin on specific archive pages (blog page, search page, post type and taxonomy archives) via the settings page.
Everything Broken? Try placing jQuery back into the header via Settings > Scripts to Footer, “Keep jQuery in the Header” checkbox. If that doesn’t work, refer to the walkthrough below for using the stf_exclude_scripts filter for the script that is causing the issue.
Check out the documentation on GitHub or some quick walkthroughs below.

Perfectly improving the speed of page load

After installing this plugin, I noticed my site being loaded quite faster. This plugin is a miracle worker. I use SG Optimizer and needed to use a plugin that does not have any conflict with SG Optimizer. After doing so much research, I finally came across this one.
