WordPress Assets manager, dequeue scripts, dequeue styles

Description

You should know that, a lot of WordPress plugins developers forget performance when creating plugins. This means that a lot of them load self scripts/styles on every single post and or page of your site. This is not good, because it slows your site down.

That’s why we created the WP Asset manager, with it, you can choose which scripts and styles should be loaded on the page, and which ones do not. One example of this would be with the Contact Form 7 plugin. With two clicks you can disable it everywhere except for on your contact page.

THIS PLUGIN’S BENEFITS INCLUDE

Decreases number of HTTP requests loaded (important for faster load)
Reduces the HTML code of the actual page (that’s even better if GZIP compression is enabled)
Makes source code easier to scan in case you’re a developer and want to search for something
Remove possible conflicts between plugins/theme (e.g. 2 JavaScript files that are loading from different plugins and they interfere one with another)
Better performance score if you test your URL on websites such as GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom Website Speed Test
Google will love your website more as it would be faster and fast page load is nowadays a factor in search ranking
Your server access log files (e.g the Apache ones) will be easier to scan and would take less space on your server

We used some useful functions from plugins Asset Queue Manager, WP Asset CleanUp (Page Speed Optimizer), Clearfy – disable unused features, wp disable, Disabler, Admin Tweaks

Very useful plugin, easy to use

carterg116 June 8, 2024

Excellent plugin to reduce the load time on your pages.The Assets Manager menu shows at the top of the adminbar when viewing each page.

Neat idea but needs a lot more options

sirtaptap August 4, 2023

It’s useful to remove head scripts/styles that are only needed on a few pages, basically to police stuff plugins really should be doing on their own. My biggest complaint is “assets manager” shows in the admin bar for ALL users even logged out! if the admin bar is visible. I suspect the author keeps that disabled on their site and doesn’t realize it shows. I have to hide the manager (making it impossible to edit) at all times because I do show the admin bar for the Friends plugin and other features.

As more I use it as more I like it

Tokatl April 6, 2022

At first I started with one star because haven’t found the button on which one get to the assets manager, then three stars because I wasn’t sure how it works, now after using it and dig into the code of the plugin I found it very good so that’s the five stars, works as expected! Great work, thank you!

Can’t find Configuration – How is it used?

wardencenter February 7, 2022 1 reply

I need a plugin like this, BUT, like other reviewers, I can’t figure out how to configure and use it. There’s a message in the settings that says to use the link in the Admin Bar. There is nothing related to this plugin that shows up in the Admin Bar. How does one use this? Surely, one of the reviewers that gave 5 starts can chime in? Cheers

No option panel – no configuration

Well can’t try this as this is unnecessary coded with an extra panel which is a miracle to be found. No menu in the admin panel like described (which is unnecessary and annoying anyway)

“Deletion Failed”

jasonbear August 13, 2021

Intrusive junk. When I try to delete this plugin, I get the following error message: Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website. Also, the plugin’s folder is named “gonzales” instead of anything remotely matching “Webcraftic Assets manager.” Really? Just “gonzales”? That makes it impossible to search for. STUPID! The only way to get rid of this junk is to delete the entire folder via FTP.
