in all next apps, there are auto generated script tags by next inside the head tag, which are basically the js code divided to chunks. they have async attribute by default, i want to add defer attribute to my scripts to make sure they are loaded after the html is parsed

As far as I know, you can only change that on custom scripts, not framework scripts itself because those are needed for hydration.

i have seen some sites built with next, and have defer attr rather than async on their auto generated js chunks

Curious, why do you want to change it, it is managed by Nextjs for a reason, aren't you focussing on the wrong "perfectionist" things instead of building your application? 😅

actually, im trying to increase the performance score of my app for better seo. i've searched the best opponents on my sector which are built with next, and realized one major difference which is what I just told you 😅
