Script Report vs WP Shield

Script Report is a minimal and focused debugging tool for WordPress developers. It helps you audit and visualize JavaScript and CSS dependencies on any admin or frontend page. When something loads out of order, loads twice, or slows down a page, Script Report helps you see exactly what is happening. Use the Script Report link in the admin navbar on any page to open a complete breakdown of scripts and styles, their load order, dependencies, and origin. Why Use Script Report? Developers often ask: Why is this script loading here Who enqueued this style Why is my dependency not working Is something loading twice What is affecting performance on this page Script Report gives you clear answers instantly. What You Can Inspect JavaScript View a complete breakdown of: Registered scripts Enqueued scripts Total required scripts Load order File size Footer or header loading Inline scripts Enqueued by source Required by dependencies CSS Inspect styles with the same detailed structure: Registered styles Enqueued styles Total required styles Load order File size Dependency relationships Enqueued by source Required by dependencies Script Modules WordPress 6.5+ Audit registered and enqueued script modules along with their dependency chains. Views Switch between two views: List view Clean, structured overview of all scripts and styles. Tree view Visual representation of dependency chains. Circular or missing dependencies are clearly flagged. Filtering Quickly filter by handle or source to narrow down large lists. Filtering works client side for fast inspection.

This plugin will allow you to secure your development, staging and UAT environments with an http authentication block that can be controlled in admin but also turned off via a declared variable in your config file. It allows you to bring your Database back to non-production environments without having to physically turn off the plugin each time. Variable: define('WP_SHIELD_UN', ''); This simple line of code (recommended to add to a file ignored by your code management software and required into your wp_config.php file) will override the enabled flag if the plugin’s settings. Enable in production and add the above code. If that require file doesn’t exist in your other environments, it will prompt users for the set username and password.
