Making anything synchronous will just make performance worse, no? Isn't the best practice going to be to make them async and then have code handle the components and stuff coming in later? e.g. the way Google+ loads a static version of itself and then fixes itself up so that it loads "REALLY FAST" but isn't actually interactive until sometime after it's loaded? Why not make them all async? 105986 1 ian 2014-05-14 18:56:44 +0000 Spoke with dglazkov. It's only legacy <script> elements that are sync. <script type=module>, <script> inside rel=import files, style sheets, and other <link>s, are not blocked.
