Maintain Scripts

  • Hello, since i use several commercial plugins, i found out that my site loads a lot of unnecessary script. Things are loaded even in home page because of the wonderful wp_enqueue_script/style

    i wonder if there’s plugin to manage this so i can set in my site to load the script only when it needed…

    or do i have to code it manually ?

    i think wordpress need to address a design pattern so developer forced to create plugins with best practices.. or at least build better function so the script only load when the widget is loaded..

    Thanks

    Why aren’t you loading your scripts conditionally?

    Here’s an answer I gave to a similar issue on WPSE.

    function js_custom() {
        if ( is_page('273') ) { // Here is where we sniff for specific elements
            wp_register_script( 'js_custom', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom.js', false, null);
            wp_enqueue_script( 'js_custom' );
        }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'js_custom', 50);

    Check out the Codex on Conditional Tags for a decent list of conditions where you may want to use scripts/styles.
