In my opinion the request for the JavaScript file (number 3, no defer, no async) should be placed as request number 5 because of:

In my opinion the request for the JavaScript file (number 3, no defer, no async) should be placed as request number 5 because of:
- The JavaScript file is blocking parallel downloads and the Waterfall View give the impression that this is not the case because it shows request number 4+5 after the request for the JavaScript file (number 3)
- Request number 4 and 5 are originally placed first in the HTML file and then comes the script (number 3).
Do I understand this view in a wrong way and can anyone explain me this behaviour?
