Comment:

 Hi bhubbard,

 You might've gotten a performance boost because your find/replace applied
 to external scripts as well.

 In the specs, you can see that the async attribute is only for external
 scripts (and should only be used if the src attribute is present).
 Relevant link: https://www.w3schools.com/TAgs/att_script_async.asp

 My suggestion is to close this ticket and focus instead on getting ticket
 #12009 moving forward in order to properly add support for deferring or
 asyncing external scripts in the Wordpress way.
