Description
Script Surgery gives you a visual, actionable view of every script and style loaded on your WordPress site — broken down by page type (homepage, single post, product, cart, etc.).
What it does
Visual asset inventory
See every enqueued script and style on each page type: the handle, which plugin or theme added it, file size, whether it loads in <head> (render-blocking) or footer, and async/defer status.
Source attribution
Each asset is attributed to: WordPress Core, a plugin (by name), your theme, or an external CDN. No guesswork.
Per-page-type disable rules
Disable any script or style on specific page types with one click. Elementor scripts loading on your checkout page? Slider scripts loading on cart? Disable them — no code required.
Render-blocking detection
Scripts loading in <head> without async or defer are flagged as render-blocking. Styles are flagged similarly. Fix the highest-impact issues first.
Bulk actions
“Only on this page” — disable a script everywhere except the current page type in one click. Reset individual or all rules at once.
How data is collected
Data is captured automatically when a logged-in administrator visits any frontend page. No cron jobs, no external requests. The WordPress admin bar shows a ⚗ indicator on each page type so you know what’s been captured.
Privacy
Script Surgery only runs for logged-in administrators. No data is sent externally. All data is stored in your own database (transients + one options entry).
Installation

script-surgeryfolder to/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
