Load JS Delayed Feature makes comment REPLY button unresponsive!

Hello Support,

Whenever I toggle the Load JS (Delayed) option, I find that my WordPress comment REPLY button stops working, meaning when clicked, the button remains unresponsive and the comment box never opens.

As soon as I change Load JS Delayed to Deferred mode, the comment REPLY button starts working again.

However, in the Load JS Delayed mode my site loading is much faster compared to Deferred mode.

I have already tried adding the comment-reply.js in the “JS Deferred / Delayed Excludes” field, but that did not seem to solve the issue.

My WordPress theme is genesis child theme.

It would be great and very helpful if this issue is solved, so that we can take the full advantage of the Load JS “Delayed” option for maximum page speed optimization.

Thanks very much in advance.
