madegood Hi, Please could you tell me how to prevent wpufe from loading external scripts when not necessary. For example, it is loading the following files on every page, when I only want them to load on a page with a form on; /wp-content/plugins/wp-user-frontend-pro/css/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.css?ver=3.5.1 /wp-content/plugins/wp-user-frontend-pro/js/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js?ver=3.5.1 /wp-content/plugins/wp-user-frontend-pro/js/frontend-form.js?ver=3.5.1 Thanks in advance Will

When it’s loaded once, the browser will cache the scripts and will serve the scripts from cache for later requests. So will it make difference to exclude them?

Hmmm, well it does make a difference because a majority of my users won’t be using the plugin. Those three scripts alone come to over 100kb, which is about 20% of the size of my homepage. It all adds up at, and ultimately is a significant load when speed is important.

Cheers

check the wpuf.php enqueue_scripts function. wp_enqueue_script calls are adding the scripts in page. So if you load those scripts in specific pages, add this code
[php]
global $post;

if ( $post && (is_page( 133 ) || is_page( 34 )) ) {

}
[/php]

Now move the scripts into this if block and give the page ids to load them in specific pages.

Okay, the function on around line 161, right? And I’m assuming I’ll have to redo this every time I upgrade?

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Yes, 161 and you’ll have to do it everytime.
