About Asset Preloader: preload the assets onl…
From the official readme · v0.0.7Description
Decide which assets you want to preload depending on the page.
If a specific page needs a specific asset before others, you should preload it only on that page, not everywhere.
This plugin gives you the possibility to preload assets per page.
You will find a section in each single page and post in the backend, but also a global settings page where you can decide the assets that you want to preload everywhere.
How to preload a specific asset only on a specific page
- Install Asset Preloader
- Go to that single page in the backend, and add the URL of the asset in the textarea that you see below Asset Preloader
How to preload a specific asset on all pages
- Install Asset Preloader
- Go to Asset Preloader
- Add the URL of the asset in the textarea that you see in the global settings
Other useful plugins to speed up the rendering of the page
For better speed performance, of course, don’t forget to use a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP Optimize, Comet Cache, Cache Enabler, Hyper Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Optmizer
Some of the amazing plugins above give you also the opportunity to preload assets, but not per page. This is why we created Asset Preloader.
