The Assets Manager

    Hi guys,

    Thought I’d ask here before I buggered my website up.

    I’ve just discovered in the Clearfy drop-down, something called ‘Assets Manager’, which has in the first column, a list of plugins found on the page, and when clicking on the plugin name, a list of things that are loaded up in that plugin with a drop-down saying ‘load plugin and it’s assets, load plugin assets, don’t load plugin’.

    Then just below that, another panel with the resources, ‘javascript with enable/disable and CSS with enable/disable’.

    So I suppose the question is this:

    On checking out the website homepage, I find a few plugins that I know are not needed for the homepage, as they’re only on posts, or on the contact page and jobs page.

    Let’s say I go to the ‘Table of Contents’ plugin for example, or the ‘Visual Form Builder’ – should I just be choosing from the items in the first panel drop-down (load plugin and assets, load plugin assets, don’t load plugin), or should I also be looking to disable the CSS and Javascript for those items too?

    Thanks for any info!

    Right, I THINK I’ve got it, by using a plugin I’ve got called ‘Age Gate’, which restricts access to pages and posts.

    Activated ‘don’t load plugin’ on my homepage, and it still works on my restricted content posts.

    So what you’re saying then, is if I go through all the plugins not necessary for the homepage, and enter the ‘don’t load plugin’ parameter, it’ll work for the homepage?

    Well that’s fine, and excellent work on that bit, but the problem arises if I then go to my ‘About’ page, and to anyone that’s not read this thread will still see the homepage url in the ‘don’t load plugin’ panel.

    So I’m guessing that for the ‘About’ page, I’ll need to click onto the plugin name again, and then onto the gear icon next to the plugin state, and then select ‘and’, and finally /about yes?

    The plugin will not load only on those pages that you specified in the disable rules.

    So I’m guessing that for the ‘About’ page, I’ll need to click onto the plugin name again, and then onto the gear icon next to the plugin state, and then select ‘and’, and finally /about yes?

    Yes, this is exactly what you need to do for all pages on which you want to disable the plugin

    Thanks @webtemyk it’s all quite simple when it’s pointed out to you, but I still feel the right documentation would help lots of people out.

    Just got my homepage, with lots of images, image menu links, around 30 plugins and WP Bakery page builder down to a GTMetrix score of 1.4secs using this system!
