<p>The Yahoo! Exceptional Performance team recommends <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom" rel="nofollow ugc">placing scripts at the bottom of your page</a> because of the way browsers download components.</p>
<p>“The problem caused by scripts is that they block parallel downloads. The HTTP/1.1 specification suggests that browsers download no more than two components in parallel per hostname. If you serve your images from multiple hostnames, you can get more than two downloads to occur in parallel. While a script is downloading, however, the browser won’t start any other downloads, even on different hostnames.</p>
<p>In some situations it’s not easy to move scripts to the bottom. If, for example, the script uses document.write to insert part of the page’s content, it can’t be moved lower in the page. There might also be scoping issues. In many cases, there are ways to workaround these situations.”</p>
<p>WordPress default behavior is to load javascript in the  page.</p>
<p>This plugin will move all javascript code to the footer if the plugins have <a href="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/best-practice-for-adding-javascript-code-to-wordpress-plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">declared javascript properly</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Head & Footer Code</strong> plugin helps you add custom code snippets (JavaScript, CSS, or HTML) to the page even if you are not a programmer. It could be within the <code><head></code> (site verification code for various services, custom styles, meta or Webfont link), right after opening <code><body></code> (pixel tracking, analytics or heatmap code) or just before closing <code></body></code> tag.</p>
<p>Go to <strong>Tools</strong> → <strong>Head & Footer Code</strong> in WordPress Dashboard. Insert custom code to HEAD, BODY or FOOTER section (depending on what you have to do).</p>
<p>All magic is done by hooking to WordPress hooks <code>wp_head</code>, <code>wp_footer</code> and <code>wp_body_open</code>.</p>

Head & Footer Code

This plugin is what exactly I'm looking for to add custom javascript and CSS codes to specific pages without inserting them inside the template.

A must have plugin

Easy add site-wide, category and article specific custom code before the closing </head> and </body>, or after opening <body> tag.
