I've modified a page so instead of putting all the

in the head, I only kept the jquery in the head and loaded the others
like that (exemple for tablesorter):

"Rule 5 described how stylesheets near the bottom of the page
prohibit progressive rendering, and how moving them to the document
HEAD eliminates the problem. Scripts (external JavaScript files) pose
a similar problem, but the solution is just the opposite: it's better
to move scripts from the top to as low in the page as possible. One
reason is to enable progressive rendering, but another is to achieve
greater download parallelization."
