Google HTML/CSS Style Guide – Omit Optional Tags

I've been sleeping on best practices here... is it preferred to do a script with defer in the <head> over putting it at the bottom of the <body> now?

I'd say yes. Defer-in-<head> works just like bottom-of-<body>, except the browser can start downloading and parsing the scripts right away (and in parallel if it wants).

Doesn't matter much with defer or async. If you but the at the bottom, they start loading in parallel slightly later.

Which could be a good thing or bad thing depending on its importance to the experience.
