    Hello,

    Wordfence is a great tool BUT it is also one of those awfull plugin that loads all its assets throughtout all the admin pages!
    Doing so it is even heavier than Elementor…

    As you can see here wf-adminbar.xxx.css is loaded mostly for some background color, wf-font-awesome.xxx.css seem loaded for nothing and so is admin-global.xxx.css…

    Just for Wordfence, a total of 99.9k of CSS are loaded ON ALL ADMIN DASHBOARD PAGES, unused at 99%!
    Could you optimize that PLEASE???

    Also check your loaded JS ??

    Thanks a lot, my dashboard would love to get some speed back!

    Hi @madmax4ever, thanks for your message.

    We are always working to optimize the way Wordfence uses resources both in the browser and server-side. Part of what you’re seeing is that some CSS is used only under certain conditions, like when an admin notice should appear on all admin pages, or a dialog box in some cases. Automated tools show that CSS for dynamic elements isn’t used, but it doesn’t mean it’s never used under any conditions.

    I cannot comment on the forums about the release date of any specific product changes, but your observations have been submitted to the developers for further discussion.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
