JS Code

The WP Coder plugin’s JS Code option allows you to incorporate custom JavaScript (JS) into your WordPress site. With this feature, you can enhance your website’s interactivity and user engagement by creating dynamic content and functionalities.

JavaScript can be used for a wide variety of tasks on your site, such as form validation, interactive elements like sliders and carousels, creating complex animations, and much more.

To use the JS Code feature, make sure the WP Coder plugin is active on your site. Then, go to the WP Coder settings in your WordPress dashboard. There you will find a dedicated JS code editor where you can write or paste your custom JavaScript. After inputting your JS code and saving your changes, the custom JavaScript will be implemented on your site. You can also use the generated shortcode to insert your JS code on specific pages, posts, or widgets as required.

“JQuery Dependency” Option: This option ensures that your custom JavaScript code is executed only after jQuery, a popular JavaScript library, has fully loaded on your site.

“Inline” Option: Similar to the CSS inline option, this feature allows you to place your custom JavaScript directly within your HTML document, as opposed to linking to an external .js file. This can be useful for scripts that are specific to a single page and are not very large. Keep in mind, though, inline scripts can increase the overall size of your HTML document and could impact your website’s load times if overused.

“Minified/Obfuscate” Option: Enabling this option will minify your JavaScript, removing all unnecessary characters such as spaces, line breaks, and comments to make the file size smaller. This can improve your site’s loading speed. Obfuscation goes a step further by also transforming the code into an equivalent, harder-to-understand format to protect it from reverse-engineering or copying.

“Attribute (defer, async)” Option: These attributes alter how your JavaScript loads relative to the rest of your webpage. The “async” attribute allows your script to load and execute asynchronously with the rest of the webpage, meaning it won’t block the loading of other elements. The “defer” attribute ensures your script won’t execute until the HTML document has fully loaded. Both attributes can improve page load performance, but each has unique implications and use cases depending on how your JavaScript interacts with your webpage.
