Scripts Manager:
The perfmatters plugin also now has a Scripts Manager built in. This allows you to disable scripts on a per post/page basis. This is very powerful and can drastically increase the speed on your WordPress sites (especially your homepage).
A few examples of what this can be used for:
- The popular Contact Form 7 plugin loads itself on every page and post. You can easily disable it everywhere with one click and enable only on your contact page.
- Social media sharing plugins should only be loaded on your posts. You can easily disable it everywhere and load only on post types, or even custom post types.
Perfmatters script manager
All scripts are grouped by their respective plugin and theme so you can easily see which scripts are being used by what.
Extras
DNS Prefetching is available under the perfmatter's extras tab, along with the ability to enable accessibility mode. Accessibility mode ensures that our plugin dashboard fully works with screen reader.
Performance
Web performance is the most important feature to us, and that is why this plugin
doesn't load anything on the frontend and is under 60 KB on the backend.
