Not working

Hello Baga,

Did you also left a message on WP Tavern? I replied to it, but they haven’t approved my comments yet!

If nothing loads even after you refresh the page (sometimes the internet connection can time out after you loaded the edit post/page), then check the “Console” and see what errors you’re getting. It’s likely a plugin or something else is interfering with the AJAX calls that are being made.

PS: If you could create me an account that allows me to use the plugin on your blog, I can check it myself and let you know the problem. It could be conflicting with other plugin, but I need to be sure.

Regards,
Gabe

Hi Gabe,
thanks for getting back.

I haven’t left any messages on WP Tavern.

How do I check the console?

Sorry I cannot give you an admin access at this moment.

P.S. I use a custom child theme of Genesis.

Thanks for your help!

While you are in the edit post/page mode, right click and then “Inspect Element”. You will see the “Console” and the “Network”. I’m using Chrome. You can check those tabs and see if there are any errors showing. I am also using a child theme of Genesis (Eleven 40 Pro) and the assets load fine.

PS: I’ve just updated the plugin. I’ve added a fallback to load the plugin’s .JS files in case they weren’t loaded in the first place for some reason. Please update it and let me know if it will load the list of assets. I want to help you with it as there are around 3 people that already told me about this bug and I really need to fix this as soon as possible. It has to work for everyone.

I was getting the same issue. Your quick update seems to have fixed that issue for me. I’ll continue testing.

The funny thing about it is the following:

I was so worried in making the script so good in terms of speed that I wanted to prevent loading the plugin’s CSS and JS in the Dashboard on pages that are not needed. However, due to some WordPress settings, they didn’t load in some Dashboards.

They would have been fine loading in the Dashboard (on all pages) as it wasn’t really noticeable in terms of speed and people would not have told me that it doesn’t work etc.

This proves how careful you have to be when you’re optimising the speed of a script/page. if you guys unload JS and CSS files make sure they won’t later be needed inside the theme (after the theme or plugin gets updated). That’s why proper testing is important.

Overall, there are themes and plugins loading LOTS of assets that are useless in pages such as “Contact” or “About”.

Let me know guys if you have any more issues. If not, I will later mark this thread as “RESOLVED”. If you guys are happy with the performance, I would appreciated a feedback for this plugin on the plugin’s repository.

Agree – the “super themes” load tons of unneeded scripts. I’m testing on Avada. <- Big on functionality, also big on bloat. I thought it would be the perfect candidate for this plugin.

Also agree – optimization is not a one-time set and forget. It requires constant testing with any new update before deploying to a production site.

This update made the script work as advertised. I got the css/script list on the page and checked all that were not needed. Reloaded front end. Script count was less and no js errors (after a little trial and error of course). Page tested went from 61 – > 47 requests with no errors.

Your plugin has promise–bravo!

designerChad, thanks for the feedback and rating! I agree that Avada is a heavy loaded theme. I’ve heard people complaining about it that is not as flexible and fast as Genesis framework for instance. It looks good on the outside, but not as great on the inside. Will keep updating this plugin and make it better! Once day, a premium version might appear. What kind of features would you like to see more on this plugin?

@baga, how’s the testing going? Consider updating the plugin to the latest version and it should work fine!

Thanks Gabe,
the new version fixed the problem.
Unfortunately there were no css/js files that I could remove from the pages I tested. Thery were already optimized.
Thanks anyway!
