Does deferring javascript reduce the Session capture rate for fast bounces?

    On PageSpeed Insights, I get these warnings:
    Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
    /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4
    /wp-content/plugins/better-analytics/js/loader.php?ver=1.2.3.js

    Can I defer these and still expect to catch more Sessions? We get a lot of AdWords clicks and about 10% become Sessions.

    You definitely wouldn't get more sessions. Maybe a few less if your site is slow and people abandon your site before it fully loads because you would be deferring Analytics stuff to load until later.
