Nahnu Asset Scanner vs Perform – Optimize Performance

Nahnu Asset Scanner manually scans the pages you choose and builds a complete inventory of everything loaded on your site’s front end. Instead of guessing which scripts to defer or which cookies need a consent banner, you get a precise, plugin-attributed list to work from. What it scans JavaScript — every script, inline or external, with file path, size, whether it’s first- or third-party, and which plugin or theme registered it CSS — every stylesheet with the same attribution detail Cookies — every cookie set during page load, categorized as Necessary / Preferences / Analytics / Marketing, with the plugin that sets it identified from a bundled database of 600+ known cookie patterns covering 400+ plugins Domains — every third-party domain contacted, identified by category using the bundled vendor map Why it matters Cache configuration — cache plugins need to know which cookies bypass the cache (WooCommerce cart, WPML language, login cookies) and which JS/CSS files to exclude from minification or combination. This plugin gives you those exact file paths and cookie names from a real scan of your site, not a generic list. Cookie consent — before configuring Complianz, CookieYes, or Real Cookie Banner, run a scan to get an accurate, categorized cookie inventory. The bundled database covers WooCommerce, membership plugins, LMS platforms, builders, security plugins, analytics services, ad networks, chat widgets, and more. Performance auditing — identify render-blocking scripts, bloated third-party embeds, and unnecessary tracking pixels. The JS and CSS tabs show inline vs. external, first-party vs. third-party, and file size at a glance. Third-party auditing — the Domains tab reveals every external service your site contacts. Use it as the starting point for a Content Security Policy or to assess your GDPR third-party processor list. Cookie database The plugin ships with a bundled cookie database covering 600+ patterns from 400+ WordPress plugins and services.

Perform helps site owners reduce unnecessary frontend work in WordPress. It combines asset controls, cache features, CDN rewriting, and small cleanup modules in one settings area. Version 1.7.0 focuses on safer, easier-to-understand controls for real sites: a dashboard overview, dashboard-only runtime diagnostics, page cache exclusion and lifecycle controls, an Assets Manager reset action, consistent settings layouts, and Cache Stats integrated into the main settings tabs. Key capabilities: Inspect scripts and styles on the current page with the Assets Manager. Disable selected CSS or JavaScript globally or keep it enabled for specific pages. Enable full-page caching with cache validation, stale regeneration, preload scheduling, and cache stats. Add DNS prefetch and preconnect hints for external resources. Rewrite static asset URLs to a CDN when a CDN URL is configured. Cache classic WordPress navigation menus on non-block themes. Remove common frontend extras such as emojis, embeds, query strings, feed links, REST links, shortlinks, and jQuery Migrate. Adjust Heartbeat, autosave, post revision, and self-pingback behavior. Apply WooCommerce-specific asset and cart fragment controls when WooCommerce is active. How Perform works: Most modules are disabled until you turn them on. Asset changes are reversible from the Assets Manager. Existing settings from older Perform versions are preserved during migration. Developers can customize selected behavior through Perform filters.
