i am writing a wordpress plugin.
In order to decrease page load time i decided to go with AJAX.So what i mean is when the page loads an ajax must be triggered and the content must be loaded by a request.
My question is that i am not writing a theme,so how can i do this with a plugin?

    You can use the wp_enqueue_script to load your js into the page and do the ajax request from that js file. Here we are using wp_head hook to place it into the <head> section of your theme.

    add_action('wp_head', load_my_scripts);
function load_my_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'my-js-file',
        plugins_url('/js/my-js-file.js', __FILE__),
        array('jquery')
    );
}

    Also if you are developing a custom theme then be sure to have <?php wp_head(); ?> before closing you </head> tag in your header.php

    PS: I’m assuming you are using jQuery for you ajax requests so I included that library in the code as prerequisite, so WordPress will include that library before your js file.
