You’ve already heard our good news about CMB2…but wait, there’s more! We recently adopted Asset Queue Manager, a WordPress plugin that allows experienced front-end performance engineers to take control over the scripts and styles enqueued on their site(s). About Asset Queue Manager
AQM is a well-liked and regarded plugin built by a developer from the UK named Nate Wright.
When plugins are bad citizens, they enqueue their assets everywhere on the front-end, which means their style sheets and JavaScript files are loaded everywhere, regardless of where they need to be. AQM allows you to manage whether or not those assets are actually enqueued. It’s a fantastic tool based on a great idea, and it has a really cool UI.
How we got involved
We started using AQM for the Cancer Tutor site. The homepage was taking five or six seconds to load (which as I’m sure you know, is just terrible). Justin looked at all the assets being loaded (WooCommerce, Google Maps plugin, etc.) and quickly realized that many of those weren’t needed on the front of the site. Zao used AQM to dequeue those assets and brought the homepage load time down to one and a half seconds.
