@bvbaked Yeah, that makes sense and I appreciate your input. For context, the tool page I’m referring to is https://devicexa.com/tools/gamepad-tester/. It’s a JavaScript-based gamepad tester that listens for controller input and updates the UI in real time. Outside WordPress it works perfectly, but inside WordPress it becomes inconsistent sometimes the script loads properly, and other times parts of the interface don’t respond or freeze.
I am already using wp_enqueue_script, so the script is being loaded the WordPress way, but I suspect the issue might be related to script dependencies, load order, or possible conflicts with the theme or optimization plugins. It could also be that caching or minification is altering the execution order of the script, or the theme is interfering with the DOM before the script fully initializes. Right now I’m enqueueing it without any dependencies, so I’m considering adding things like jquery if needed, and also making sure the initialization runs after the full page load using DOMContentLoaded or window.onload. I’m also planning to fully test it with all optimization plugins completely disabled to rule out any interference. If you’ve seen this kind of issue before where a tool works outside WordPress but behaves unpredictably inside it, I’d really like to know what you would check first whether it’s enqueue order, plugin conflicts, or script execution timing.
