 * Hello,
 * It would be nice if the scripts and styles could be loaded on a conditional basis,
   or when shortcode is present on page. Currently they are loaded site-wide but
   not needed site wide.
 * Having an option to defer the loading of the scripts and/or styles in the footer
   would also be nice.
 * Other than that, it’s a great plugin.
 * Thanks,
    Paul

 * Hey Paul,
 * Loading of the scripts and styles on a conditional basis would be possible with
   adding some php to the functions.php file for your theme. For example, this would
   work:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_ctf_resources', 20 );
       function remove_ctf_resources() {
       	if( !is_page(array( 'news', 'blog' )) ){
       		wp_dequeue_style('ctf_styles');
                       wp_enqueue_script('ctf_scripts');
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * You would want to change the ‘news’ and ‘blog’ parts to meet your specific situation.
   Here is a link to how is_page() works: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_page/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_page/).
   You would just need to add the proper page slugs to the snippet.
 * As for your second request, the scripts should load in the footer. Are you seeing
   something different on your site?
