FAQs
What is Page Speed Script Optimizer?
Page Speed Script Optimizer is a WordPress performance plugin that speeds up your website by conditionally loading plugins only where they're needed. Instead of loading all plugins on every page, it intelligently excludes unnecessary plugins from specific pages, reducing load times and improving Core Web Vitals.
How does it affect SEO?
By improving page load times and Core Web Vitals, the plugin can positively impact your SEO rankings. Faster sites typically rank better in search results.
How do I upgrade from Lite to Pro?
Purchase the Pro license, install the Pro plugin, and enter your license key. Your existing Lite conditions will be preserved.
Do I need to keep Lite installed with Pro?
No, Pro is a complete replacement for Lite with all features included plus advanced capabilities.
How does conditional plugin loading work?
The plugin creates "conditions" that determine when specific plugins should or shouldn't load. For example, you can prevent Contact Form 7 from loading on blog posts where it's not needed, or exclude WooCommerce from static pages like "About Us."
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
All plugins will load normally as if the conditional loading conditions never existed. Your site functionality will be fully restored without any restrictions.
What features are included in the Lite version?
The Lite version includes conditional plugin loading (up to 2 conditions), page-based targeting only, exclude mode functionality, easy-to-use interface, must-use plugin creation for early filtering, and basic performance optimization.
How many conditions can I create in Lite?
The Lite version allows up to 2 conditional loading rules with page-based targeting only.
Can I target categories or tags in Lite?
No, the Lite version focuses on exclude mode functionality. Include mode is available in the Pro version.
Is there any performance monitoring in Lite?
The Lite version provides basic conditional loading without performance analytics. Comprehensive performance monitoring is available in the Pro version.
How do I create a condition in Lite?
Go to Script Optimizer in your WordPress admin, click "Add New Condition," select the plugins you want to exclude, choose the specific pages where they shouldn't load, and save your condition.
Will Lite work with my caching plugin?
Yes! The conditional plugin loading works at the WordPress core level and is compatible with most caching solutions.
What happens if I reach the 2-condition limit?
You'll need to upgrade to Pro for unlimited conditions, or carefully prioritize which 2 optimizations will have the biggest impact on your site's performance.
