Make your website load FASTER by preventing specific scripts (.JS) & styles (.CSS) from loading on pages/posts and home page

== Description ==
* Make your web pages load FASTER with "WP Asset Clean Up"
* Faster page load = Happier Visitors = More Conversions

There are often times when you are using a theme and a number of plugins which are enabled and run on the same page. However, you don't need to use all of them and to improve the speed of your website and make the HTML source code cleaner (convenient for debugging purposes), it's better to prevent those styles and scripts from loading.

For instance, you might use a plugin that generates contact forms and it loads its assets (.CSS and .JS files) in every page of your website instead of doing it only in the /contact page (if that's the only place where you need it).

WP Asset Clean Up scans your page and detects all the assets that are loaded. All you have to do when editing a page/post is just to select the ones you DO NOT wish to load.

= This plugin's benefits include =
* Decreases number of HTTP requests loaded (important for faster load)
* Reduces the HTML code of the actual page (that's even better if GZIP compression is enabled)
* Makes source code easier to scan in case you're a developer and want to search for something
* Remove possible conflicts between plugins/theme (e.g. 2 JavaScript files that are loading from different plugins and they interfere one with another)
* Better performance score if you test your URL on websites such as GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom Website Speed Test
* Google will love your website more as it would be faster and fast page load is nowadays a factor in search ranking
* Your server access log files (e.g the Apache ones) will be easier to scan and would take less space on your server

Plugin works with WordPress Multisite Network enabled!

NOTE: People that have tested the plugin are so far happy with it and I want to keep a good reputation for it. In case something is not working for you or have any suggestions, please write to me on the forum and I will be happy to assist you.

**BEFORE rating this plugin**, please check the following post http://chrislema.com/theres-wrong-way-give-plugin-feedback-wordpress-org/ and then use your common sense when writing the feedback.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the "wp-asset-clean-up" folder in your plugins folder
2. Activate the plugin (if server's PHP version is below 5.3, it will show you an error and activation will not be made)
3. Edit any page / post/ custom post and you will see a meta box called "WP Asset Clean Up" which will load the list of all the loaded .css and .js files
4. To unload the assets for the "Home Page", go to "WP Asset Clean Up" menu on the left panel of the Dashboard

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= What PHP version is required for this plugin to work? =

5.3+

= I've noticed scripts and styles that are loaded on the page, but they do not show in the "WP Asset Clean Up" list when editing the page. Why is that? =

If that's the case, then those assets weren't loaded properly into WordPress by the theme/plugin author as they were likely hardcoded and not enqueued the WordPress way. Here's a tutorial that will help you understand better the enqueuing process: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-add-javascripts-and-styles-in-wordpress/

= jQuery and jQuery Migrate are often loading on pages/post. Are they always needed? =

Well known jQuery library is being used by many themes and plugins so it's recommended to keep it on. jQuery Migrate was created to simplify the transition from older versions of jQuery. It restores deprecated features and behaviors so that older code will still run properly on jQuery 1.9 and later.

However, there are cases when you might not need jQuery at all in a page. If that's the case, feel free to unload it. Make sure you properly test the page afterwards, including testing it for mobile view.

= Is the plugin working with WordPress Multisite Network? =

Yes, the plugin has been tested for WordPress Multisite and all its settings are applied correctly to any of the sites that you will be updating.

= When editing a post/page, I can see the message "We're getting the loaded scripts and styles for this page. Please wait...", but nothing loads! Why? =

The plugin makes AJAX calls to retrieve the data from the front-end page with 100% accuracy. Possible reasons why nothing is shown despite the wait might be:

- Your internet connection cut off after you loaded the edit post/post (before the AJAX calls were trigerred). Make sure to check that and refresh the page if it's back on - it happened to me a few times

- There could be a conflict between plugins or your theme and something is interfering with the script that is retrieving the assets

- You are loading the WordPress Dashboard through HTTPS, but you are forcing the front-end to load via HTTP.

In this case, it's advisable to enable "Manage in the Front-end?" in "Settings" of "WP Asset Clean Up", thus making the list to show at the bottom of the posts, pages and front-page only for the logged in users with admin privileges.

Although I've written the code to ensure maximum compatibility, there are factors which are not up to the quality of the plugin that could interfere with it.
In case the assets are not loading for you, please write me on the forum and I will be happy to assist you!

= In some pages, I do not see styles and scripts in the "WP Asset Clean Up" List =

If that's the case, you might have other functions or plugins (e.g. Plugin Organizer) that are loading prior to WP Asset Clean Up.

Note that Plugin Organizer has a file that is in "mu-plugins" which will load prior to any plugin you have in "plugins", thus, if you have disabled specific plugins through "Plugin Organizer" in some pages, their assets will obviously not show in the assets list as they are not loaded at all in the first place.

= I do not know or I'm not sure which assets to unload on my pages. What should I do? =

If that's the case, then it's advisable to consult with a developer (ideally the person who helped you with your website) to give you assistance in unloading the unused assets.

== Screenshots ==
1. When editing a post/page (custom post type as well) a meta box will load with the asset list
2. Styles (.CSS) loaded for the home page when accessing the "WP Asset Clean Up" Dashboard's menu
3. Scripts (.JS) loaded for the home page having an alert message when accessing the "WP Asset Clean Up" Dashboard's menu
4. Scripts (.JS) are selected for site-wide unload

== Changelog ==
= 1.2.2 =
* Bug Fix: Sometimes scripts in the footer were not detected for unloading

* Prevent JavaScript errors from showing in the background and interfere with the functionality of other plugins in case script.js is loaded in pages where the plugin is not needed
