I have tried ALL THE TECHNIQUES here, and I still cannot figure out how in Magento 1.9 I can get the javascript to not load above the fold, or after the page has loaded.
My website is dev.shielo.com
this is the page speed error i am getting from google:
58 / 100Speed
Should Fix:
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 1 blocking script resources and 3 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

forget about that, just enable FoomanSpeedster.
you have to look for "time to first byte" optimization, it has higher priority.
Reduce server response time - is your problem.
run https://github.com/AOEpeople/Aoe_Profiler to see if magento has some slow parts
i guess you need to configure php opcache and mysql optimization. also maybe magento cache is disabled.
then optimize images with
