How to enable Cloudflare Rocket Loader

Rocket Loader is responsible for prioritizing over website’s content by delaying the loading of Javascript until rendering.

In fact, this leads to an earlier rendering of our page content. Furthermore, Rocket Loader handles internal and external scripts. It also maintains the order of execution. Additionally, Cloudflare detects incompatible browsers and disables Rocket Loader.

Moreover, Rocket Loader leads to a lot faster loading experience for our users in addition to improving performance metrics like the ones below:

• Time to First Paint (TTFP)
• Time to First Contentful Paint (TTFCP)
• Document Load
• Time to First Meaningful Paint (TTFMP)

Furthermore, Cloudflare has optional features that use non-standard tags responsible for failing strict HTML validation via the help of tools. If we examine jQuery or JavaScript issues for the website, we have to check if disabling Rocket Loader via Cloudflare Speed app help fix the issues.

We can access Rocket Loader via the Cloudflare dashboard with these steps:

1. First, log in to the Cloudflare dashboard.
2. Next, select the account and website.
3. Then, head to Optimization under Speed.
4. Finally, scroll down till we find Rocket Loader and toggle it to on or off as per our preference.

Additionally, adding the data-cfasync=”false” attribute to the corresponding script tag will force Rocket Loader to ignore individual scripts.

For instance:

<script data-cfasync="false" src="/javascript.js"></script>

However, even with the above modification, Rocket Loader will continue to optimize the loading process of all scripts on the page.
