## Descripcion

Did you ever read about Optimization of website/blog through ordering styles and
Scripts in head section?
 If you like your website load in browser as quickly as
possible then you may have read in performance optimization tips that you should
move all CSS files on top and script at last in HTML head section <head></head>.

How do you order those calls? If you are manually putting CSS and JavaScript files
in head section (<head></head>),
 then you can do this very easily. Just modify 
once and optimization for this is over. What if you are using plugins and that are
adding calls to JavaScript and CSS files dynamically. This is case of WordPress 
blog, where we use many plugins and those plugins add various Styles and Script 
files dynamically from wp_head() call.

If above lines, do not makes much sense to you then probably you have not
 read 
this documentation on [Google](http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/rtt.html#PutStylesBeforeScripts).

The plugin will also collect different inline scripts to one place. Thus making 
the source code
 look better.

To check, if the plugin is doing anything or not, compare the Head section before
and after
 activating the plugin.

## Installacion

 1. Donwload the plugin from WordPress Plugin Directory (https://wordpress.org/extend/
    plugins/)
 2. Upload `order-styles-js.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Active the plugin
 4. Add the following lines of codes at header.php file where you see <head> section.
    
    You need to add only PHP lines given below. HTML code is for demonstration purpose
    only. Mime type « UTF-8 » is my mime type. Mention your mime type meta tag. It 
    will just there cut and paste just after Head section. If « Content-Type » is not
    available (suppose) in your WordPress header.php file, then no worry, you can add
    the 1st part just after <head>.

<head>

<meta http-equiv= »Content-Type » content= »<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset
=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?> » />

    ```
    <?php
    // 1. After Head start section
    if (function_exists('orderStyleJS')) {
        orderStyleJS( 'start' );
    }
    ?>
    ```

<!– blah blah – any other meta element. Stylesheet – External JavaScript – Internal
Js –>

<!– blah blah – any other meta element. Stylesheet – External JavaScript – Internal
Js –>

    ```
    <?php
    // 2. Just before Head close section
    if (function_exists('orderStyleJS')) {
        orderStyleJS( 'end' );
    }
    ?>
    ```

</head>

## FAQ

  Is this plugin useful for every wordpress installation?

This plugin should work in any WordPress version. However, I will recommend using
it to only those WordPress installation where any caching system is in use. Remember,
every code takes resources even if it is smaller. My code is not an exception. So,
if you are using any caching system then the plugin code need not run every time
a request is made for a page on your website/blog.
