### **Method 2: Add Script via Theme Functions (Advanced)**
1. Open the `functions.php` file of your active theme or child theme.

?>
<script>
// Your JavaScript code here
console.log('Footer script loaded');
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_footer_script');
This will ensure the JavaScript is added to the footer on every page.

### **Note**
– Always test your code to ensure it doesn’t cause conflicts.
– If you're adding external scripts, ensure to load them asynchronously or defer them for better performance. Example:
<script src="https://example.com/script.js" defer></script>
