Question

Yslow recommends that you should put scripts at the bottom of the page.

Where exactly should I put them, after the body end tag?

My whole site runs in jquery, so all the javascript files are needed at the beginning. If I move them to the end, it might stop my site from working. That being the case, where instead should i put these scripts for best performance?

Answer 1

You should put them right before the closing body tag. Make sure your scripts are being initiated properly using

$(document).ready()

And you should have no issues.
