If you want to add a JavaScript file to a custom website (not WordPress), you can do it in multiple ways, depending on your structure.

1. Adding Script via <script> Tag (HTML)

The simplest way to add a script to your website is by including it in your HTML file.

Example:

Place this inside your HTML <head> or just before </body> for better performance.

htmlCopyEdit<script src="js/tool-script.js"></script>

If the script file is hosted on an external server (CDN), use:

htmlCopyEdit<script src="https://example.com/tool-script.js"></script>

2. Adding Script Dynamically via JavaScript

If you need to load a script dynamically, use JavaScript:

jsCopyEditlet script = document.createElement('script');script.src = 'js/tool-script.js';document.body.appendChild(script);

This is useful if you only want to load the script when needed.

3. Adding Script in PHP (For Dynamic Websites)

If your [website](https://homeworkifyy.co.uk/) is built with PHP, you can insert the script like this:

phpCopyEditecho '<script src="js/tool-script.js"></script>';

Place it before the closing </body> tag in your footer file.

4. Using Webpack or Gulp (For Advanced Users)

If your website is built with modern development tools, you can bundle scripts using Webpack, Gulp, or another task runner.

Example Webpack entry:

jsCopyEditimport './js/tool-script.js';

5. Inline Script (Not Recommended for Large Scripts)

If you need a small JavaScript snippet, you can add it directly inside <script> tags:

htmlCopyEdit<script>    console.log("Tool script loaded!");</script>

Best Practice

  • Always load heavy scripts before </body> to avoid slowing down page rendering.
  • Use async or defer attributes for faster loading:

htmlCopyEdit<script src="js/tool-script.js" defer></script>
