In HTML5 you can use async or defer attributes to load javascript scripts using the script tag. Both async and defer tags make the loading of the script file asynchronous. Both these script tag attributes are compatible in all the major browsers out there today.
Async
Using the async attribute on a script tag, makes the script load asynchronously and executes it then.
<script src="example_script.js" async></script>
Defer
Using the defer attribute on a script tag, makes the script load asynchronously and then wait until the whole page is finished parsing, for the script to execute. This attribute shouldn’t be used if the “src” attribute on the script tag is absent as this has no effect on inline scripts.
<script src="example_script.js" defer></script>
If you want to collect/respond to user clicks and you are using deferred loading of the javascript file that handles this, then the page may seem broken to the user, or you might miss some clicks based on the scenario.
