This adsense code modification allowed or not?

[born2run]

Hi so my developer has implemented adsense code a couple of days ago.

The file pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js is being loaded separately via jquery to reduce number of requests by multiple ad code instances in the main page.

I myself think this is not allowed by Google, but wanted to ask folks here to confirm. Is such mod to the code allowed? Thanks!

The developer is using this github page code as a template:

It is allowed.

Wow surprising because I thought google requires entire ad code to be added in one piece and that the code can’t be split

No matter how many times the file adsbygoogle.js is added to a page, the web browser will load it only once. And if this file is already in the browser 's cache (because of a visit to your site, or someone else site), it will not be loaded either.

"If I have multiple ad units on a page, do I have to include <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> for each ad unit?

No, this is not necessary, adsbygoogle.js can be loaded once."

I understand that for the ad units, but how would it work if ad units + auto ads?
