Cache External Scripts

Often when trying to optimize the Google Pagespeed score, there is one script which still causing the ‘Leverage browser caching’ rule popping up: Google’s own gtag.js and/or analytics.js file… With this plugin you will be able to cache this file on your local server and enable browser caching for longer than 2 hours. The plugin will check every day if there is a newer version of the file to keep the cache up to date.

Encute

Encute provides a fluent, declarative API for site owners to manipulate the scripts and styles that WordPress, themes, and plugins shove onto their site. Move things into the footer, defer loading, remove assets entirely. Or load scripts async, or as modules, or as nomodule! Here’s an example of how you could use the plugin: is_page('contact'); Script::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get('contact-form-7')->keepIf($isContactPage)->footer()->defer(); Style::get(['mediaelement', 'wp-mediaelement'])->footer()->defer(); Style::get('material-icons')->defer(); Script::get('jquery')->remove(); }); Wrapper Always run code in this wrapper: add_action(\CWS\Encute\Plugin::class, function (\CWS\Encute\Plugin $encute) { // Your code here. }); This wrapper will be a no-op if Encute is not available, and it will both wait for Encute to be available to run, and pass you Encute’s main class instance. Fluency Both Script::get() and Style::get() return an instance of themselves, as do all calls to their methods, so you can just chain your calls. Script static CWS\Encute\Script::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Script — get a Script instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Script::module(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script a module. CWS\Encute\Script::noModule(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script nomodule. CWS\Encute\Script::footer(): CWS\Encute\Script — send the script to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Script::async(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script async. CWS\Encute\Script::defer(): CWS\Encute\Script — make the script defer. CWS\Encute\Script::remove(): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script. CWS\Encute\Script::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — remove the script if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Script::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Script — keep the script if the callback resolves as true (else remove it). Style static CWS\Encute\Style::get(string $handle): CWS\Encute\Style — get a Style instance for that handle. CWS\Encute\Style::footer(): CWS\Encute\Style — send the style to the footer (along with its entire dependency family). CWS\Encute\Style::defer(): CWS\Encute\Style — defer the style’s loading. CWS\Encute\Style::remove(): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style. CWS\Encute\Style::removeIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — remove the style if the callback resolves as true. CWS\Encute\Style::keepIf(callable $callback): CWS\Encute\Style — keep the style if the callback resolves as true (else remove it).
