Loading assets only when required for optimum performance

Hi.

We already added this in the plugin code https://github.com/nk-o/ghostkit/commit/6f4ae63dc35d868b56e4c15842d9ade3c62f5d16

You will need to wait for the plugin update. It will be released at the end of this month.

Regards, nK.

Hi nK,

It would be fantastic.

I am using Asset Clean Up plugin to tweak my pages… and it is time consuming.

@nko,

I updated the plugin and most of the libraries are now conditionally loaded, but there’s still Swiper JS and Webfontloader being loaded regardless of whether I use them or not.

Please look into this.

@pixify most probably it is enqueued by your theme or 3rd-party plugins. Try to deactivate all 3rd-party plugins and change the theme to TwentyTwenty to check this.

@pixify p.s. webfontloader is always loaded, will be fixed in the next plugin update. But Swiper should not be loaded by Ghost Kit if you don’t use the Carousel block.

@nko, Yes, you’re right.

I do see the swiper library being loaded from the Ghostkit plugin folder in the source code of the site on the page (/ghostkit/assets/vendor/swiper/js/swiper.min.js) where carousel is not used, but I believe that Elementor is the plugin that is loading it.

On further investigation, I found out that this is most probably the case because Elementor and Ghostkit both use the same handle to register the Swiper library.

– Elementor’s swiper library registration code: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/blob/63c8e417e949f004235dc6526d061f3b787b7568/includes/frontend.php#L356

– Ghostkit’s swiper library registration code: https://github.com/nk-o/ghostkit/blob/7f3f5611a6e9214f6a68b99e2c94fa136b2aeb0c/src/classes/class-assets.php#L175

So, it would be great if you can change the handle of the script by adding some prefix or something that adheres to your coding guidelines so that a potential conflict does not happen (like version compatibility) and the confusion is averted.

Thanks for your quick response. Much appreciated.
