原文外掛簡介
On every page Contact Form 7 loads its dependencies (wp-hooks, wp-i18n) and its CSS into the
, blocking first paint. This plugin fixes that:Defer CF7 core — moves wp-hooks/wp-i18n to the footer (you cannot defer them: an inline wp.i18n.setLocaleData block runs synchronously and would throw “wp is not defined”). CF7’s scripts leave the critical path.
Async CSS — the form stylesheet loads via media=print + onload-swap.
Both optimizations are idempotent and safe on every page. Strict dependency: with Contact Form 7 inactive, the plugin does nothing.
A note on jQuery
This plugin does NOT defer jQuery — on purpose. Deferring jQuery is only safe when EVERY jQuery-dependent script on the site is also deferred or in the footer; on an arbitrary site that is not guaranteed and breaks inline scripts in the head.
Pro version
Defer for Contact Form 7 Pro adds lazy-loaded Google reCAPTCHA v3 — spam protection without a PageSpeed hit:
Google’s api.js loads only on the first interaction with a form, so it never appears in Lighthouse/PSI.
The score check is server-side; a fresh single-use token is fetched for every submission.
The badge is hidden with the required Google disclaimer (GDPR-friendly); configurable score threshold and action label.
The free version stays fully functional on its own.
