## ਵੇਰਵਾ
**AssetPilot** helps you speed up WordPress by controlling **which scripts and styles
load on which pages** — without guessing handle names in `functions.php`.
Scan a real page URL, see every enqueued asset (and many from the HTML), then create
rules to **disable**, **defer**, **async**, **preload**, or set **fetch priority**—
only where your conditions match (homepage, shop, mobile, logged-in users, specific
URLs, and more).
Built for site owners who want measurable wins and for developers who want **conditional
dequeue with guardrails**: validation warnings, dependency insight, scan history,
and **Safe Mode** if something breaks.
#### Why AssetPilot instead of a simple “unload” plugin?
* **See before you change** — scan a URL and browse assets with origin, size, and
usage hints.
* **Rules, not one-off hacks** — reusable conditions (page type, archive, WooCommerce
views, device, auth, URL).
* **Bulk actions** — one rule for many handles (e.g. a plugin’s scripts everywhere
except checkout).
* **Safer changes** — conflict checks, impact preview, optional verification, automatic
runtime pause after repeated errors.
* **Stay in control** — dependency graph, recommendations, debug logs, and Safe
Mode.
#### What you can do
* Disable scripts and styles you do not need on specific views
* Defer or async JavaScript to reduce render-blocking work
* Preload critical scripts, styles, fonts, and images
* Set `fetchpriority` on images and preloads
* Target by singular page, post type, archive, URL fragment, query string, device,
login state, user role, WooCommerce page type, and scan URL
* Create **bulk rules** from the asset list
* Review **optimization recommendations** from scan data
* Explore **asset dependencies** in a visual graph
* Keep **scan history** and compare what changed over time
#### Typical use cases
* Stop a plugin’s CSS/JS on pages where it is not used (blog posts, landing pages,
archives)
* Defer non-critical scripts on catalog pages while keeping checkout intact
* Preload hero fonts or LCP images on key templates only
* Audit what Elementor, WooCommerce, or form plugins actually enqueue before tightening
rules
#### How it works
1. Open **AssetPilot Assets** and scan a page (your homepage, a product page, a form
page, etc.).
2. Pick an asset (or select several for a bulk rule).
3. Choose an action and **conditions** (where the rule applies).
4. Review validation and impact, then save.
5. Visit the front end — use **Safe Mode** anytime you need to disable all runtime
rules instantly.
The block editor includes an **AssetPilot** sidebar on supported setups so you can
jump from a post to asset management with context.
#### Requirements
* WordPress 6.2+
* PHP 8.1+
* Administrator access to configure rules
Frontend runtime changes apply to **public site views**, not the WordPress admin
dashboard.
### Getting started
**First rule in a few minutes**
1. **Assets** enter your site homepage URL scan.
2. Find a script or style from a plugin you suspect is unnecessary on the homepage.
3. Click to create a rule choose **Disable** (or **Defer** for scripts).
4. Set a condition such as “this scan URL only” or “non-WooCommerce pages” if you
are testing carefully.
5. Save, open the homepage in a private window, and confirm the site still works.
Use **Recommendations** after a few scans for ideas (duplicate libraries, large
files, low usage patterns).
**Create Rule** is opened from assets or recommendations — it is the guided wizard
for actions, conditions, validation, and review.
### Safe Mode
If the site looks wrong after applying rules, enable Safe Mode while logged in as
an administrator:
```
/wp-admin/?assetpilot-safe-mode=1
```
Safe Mode turns off **all frontend runtime rule changes** for the whole site. The
admin UI, REST API, scanning, and rule editing still work. Clear any page cache
after enabling if changes seem to stick.
If repeated frontend fatals occur, AssetPilot **pauses runtime rules for 30 minutes**
automatically. Resume early from **Settings** or:
```
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=assetpilot-settings&assetpilot-resume-runtime=1Development
```
**Source repository:** https://github.com/amrelarabi/assetpilot
Human-readable UI source is in `assets/src/`. Production bundles in `assets/build/`
are built with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts).
**Build (contributors only):**
1. `npm install`
2. `npm run build`
PHP lives under `includes/` (Composer PSR-4, `AssetControl\` namespace).
**Third-party frontend libraries:** `@xyflow/react` (dependency graph), `react-select`(
rule builder fields).
**Extension hooks:** `assetpilot_rest_register`, `assetpilot_admin_localize`, `assetpilot_admin_menu_pages`,`
assetpilot_scan_saved`, `assetpilot_condition_handlers`, `assetpilot_site_key_scan_urls`,`
assetpilot_site_key_scan_max_urls`, `assetpilot_key_pages_scan_complete`
## ਸਕਰੀਨਸ਼ਾਟ
* [[
* Dashboard — scan progress and quick entry to asset tools
* [[
* Assets Explorer — scripts and styles found on a scanned URL
* [[
* Create Rule — choose action, asset, and conditions in steps
* [[
* Conditions — page, URL, device, WooCommerce, and more
* [[
* Bulk rule — apply one action to multiple handles
* [[
* Dependency graph — see what depends on what before disabling
* [[
* Recommendations — suggested optimizations from your scans
* [[
* Settings — Safe Mode, logging, and runtime status
## ਸਥਾਪਤੀਕਰਨ
1. Install and activate **AssetPilot** from the Plugins screen (or upload the `assetpilot`
folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`).
2. In the admin menu, open **AssetPilot**.
3. Go to **Assets**, enter a page URL, and run a scan.
4. Create your first rule from any row in the results table.
No command-line build is required for normal use on WordPress.org installs.
## ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਵਾਲ
### Will this break my site?
Any plugin that changes how assets load can break layouts or checkout if rules are
too aggressive. AssetPilot reduces risk with validation messages, dependency information,
Safe Mode, and automatic runtime pause after errors. Start with narrow conditions(
one URL or one page type), test, then expand.
### Will AssetPilot improve my PageSpeed or Core Web Vitals score?
It can help by removing or deferring assets that should not run on a given view.
Results depend on your theme, hosting, caching, and which plugins enqueue heavy
scripts. AssetPilot shows what is loaded so you can make informed cuts — it is not
a full-page cache or image optimizer.
### How is this different from “Asset CleanUp” or “unload” plugins?
Those tools focus on unloading assets per page. AssetPilot emphasizes **conditional
rules**, bulk targeting, scan history, dependency graph, recommendations, validation,
and verification workflows in one admin app — aimed at repeatable, auditable performance
work.
### Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Conditions can target shop, product, cart, checkout, and account views so you
can keep payment scripts where they are needed.
### Does it work with Elementor and page builders?
Yes. Scan Elementor-built pages to see builder assets, then create rules with page-
level conditions. Test carefully on editor and preview URLs; use Safe Mode if a
template looks wrong.
### Does it work with Contact Form 7 and other plugins?
Scan pages with and without the form (or feature). Disable or defer that plugin’s
handles only on views where the shortcode or block is not present.
### Does AssetPilot change the WordPress admin?
No. Rules target **frontend** delivery for visitors (subject to your conditions).
Admin and block editor tooling are for configuration only.
### Do I need to edit code?
No. Everything is configured in the AssetPilot admin UI. Developers can extend behavior
via documented PHP hooks (see Development).
