How Determine If jQuery Is Critical To First Paint?

How can I determine if jQuery is critical to the first paint of my web pages?

I received a message in Google's Lighthouse to consider delivering critical js/css inline and deferring all non-critical js/styles. I'm wondering if jquery can be deferred.

I'm using 3.3.1/jquery.min.js linked from ajax.googleapis.com. Thanks!
