document.ready not needed about motherplate HOT 3 CLOSED

Wow, I didn't actually know this. Is it ok to remove this then or what is the down side?

It is ok. If you insert JS at the bottom of your document the DOM will be ready by the time the parser gets to your script. The browser executes the script from the top to the bottom.

Doing so, the browser doesn't have to parse all the JS files and, by the time it reaches your scripts, the page is largely already displayed to the user. This improves perceived load time for your page.

Makes sense. I'm going to keep it in here anyway in case I move the main.js file to the head, which occasionally I do for one reason or another. Thanks for heads up though.
