Apraksts
On every page Contact Form 7 loads its dependencies (wp-hooks, wp-i18n) and its CSS into the <head>, blocking first paint. This plugin fixes that:
- Defer CF7 core — moves wp-hooks/wp-i18n to the footer (you cannot
deferthem: an inlinewp.i18n.setLocaleDatablock runs synchronously and would throw “wp is not defined”). CF7’s scripts leave the critical path. - Async CSS — the form stylesheet loads via
media=print+ onload-swap.
Both optimizations are idempotent and safe on every page. Strict dependency: with Contact Form 7 inactive, the plugin does nothing.
A note on jQuery
This plugin does NOT defer jQuery — on purpose. Deferring jQuery is only safe when EVERY jQuery-dependent script on the site is also deferred or in the footer; on an arbitrary site that is not guaranteed and breaks inline scripts in the head.
Pro version
Defer for Contact Form 7 Pro adds lazy-loaded Google reCAPTCHA v3 — spam protection without a PageSpeed hit:
- Google’s api.js loads only on the first interaction with a form, so it never appears in Lighthouse/PSI.
- The score check is server-side; a fresh single-use token is fetched for every submission.
- The badge is hidden with the required Google disclaimer (GDPR-friendly); configurable score threshold and action label.
The free version stays fully functional on its own.

BUJ
-
Does this work with caching/optimization plugins?
-
Yes, but minifiers that combine and reorder scripts can interfere with the headfooter move. Test with your cache plugin enabled.
-
Does the plugin send any data anywhere?
-
No. It makes no external requests and stores no personal data.
