 * How can I prevent the plugin scripts loading on my home page?
    Many of the pages
   on my site don’t require plugins such as lightbox or cforms, but the script loads
   anyway causing a substantial hit.

 * The only thing you could do is put a conditional statement at the top of your
   plugin(s) that checks, say, a page variable and only runs the script if it matches
