A ‘Do It Yourself’ WordPress Page Speed Optimization Pack.

Control your CSS & JavaScripts Delivery: Load CSS Asynchronously, Delay CSS & JavaScript until User Interaction, Remove Unused CSS & JavaScript Files, Preload Critical CSS & JavaScript, Defer JavaScripts, and more.

You can choose each CSS & JavaScripts individually and what type of execution is required per each post types.

This plugin inspired by the mighty Flying Scripts from Gijo Varghese. Using HTML Dom Parser to manipulate your page’s HTML, so we can simply use the keyword of the assets to target them.

Main Features

-

Load CSS Asynchronously — load any CSS file(s) asynchronously on selected post/page types.

-

Delay CSS and JavaScripts until User Interaction — delay any CSS/JavaScripts load until user interaction on selected post/page types.

Note:

  • By default, the delay JavaScripts and CSS features are configured to user interaction based. You can change that using filter.
  • If you prefer to use ‘exclusions’, you can simply delay all JavaScripts using “.js ” keywords, and use provided filter to exclude specific JavaScripts.

-

Defer JavaScripts — defer loading any JavaScript file(s) on selected post/page types.

-

Advance Defer JavaScripts — hold any JavaScript file(s) load until everything else has been loaded. Adapted from the legendary varvy’s defer JavaScripts method *recommended for defer loading 3rd party scripts like ads, pixels, and trackers

-

Preload Critical CSS, JavaScripts, and Font Files — preload any critical CSS/JavaScript/Font file(s) on selected post/page types.

Inline CSS and JavaScript Files — inline any critical CSS/JavaScript file(s) on selected post/page types. *warning: Inlining multiple / large files might slow down your site’s performance. Enabling this without using a caching system is generally not recommended.
