Looked around, couldn't find this specific question discussed. Pretty sure the difference is negligible, just curious as to your thoughts.
Scenario: All Javascript that doesn't need to be loaded before page render has been placed just before the closing </body>
tag. Are there any benefits or detriments to lazy loading these instead through some Javascript code in the head that executes when the DOM load/ready event is fired? Let's say that this only concerns downloading one entire .js file full of functions and not lazy loading several individual files as needed upon usage.
Hope that's clear, thanks.
