New description:

 https://s.w.org/style/js/navigation.min.js is loaded in the footer of all
 wp.org templates, in a render-blocking manner.

 The approach should be altered to:
 - Move the `<script>` tag into the `<head>`
 - Add a `defer` attribute

 This will allow the script to be downloaded asynchronously but delay
 execution until after the page is loaded.
