Why is WordPress placing “text/rocketscript” instead of “text/javascript” when using wp_register_script()?

Question

I inserted the following code in a WordPress plugin:

   wp_deregister_script(\'jquery\');
   wp_register_script(\'jquery\', \"http://ajax.go         


        

Answer 1

I was facing this issue with

WP Rocket plugin which was adding type='text/rocketscript' to the script tags.

Fixed it by adding

data-cfasync="false"

to the script tags.
