scripts in <head> tag works perfectly as well as long as you position scripts above elements you would put in the <body> . I will start doing this!

Yes, but some places tell you not to do scripts there when possible and load them instead at the bottom of the page because the page loading pauses while the script is downloaded (if not inline) and executed. See https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/BlockingJS

yep, so just position the script at the bottom then. :)

It depends on whether you want to run the script before or after the body!

exactly, that is what I am saying.
