How To Use

While loading a page, the plugin will automatically detect the scripts and styles used on the page using WP enqueue system.

However, in certain circumstances, there are scripts and styles that are not detected automatically, such as akismet-form that usually comes late in the wp_footer

To check that kind of scripts, first, enable “Show Manage Scripts Menu on the Admin Bar” option in the plugin settings page. This option will add a menu to the admin-bar menu. This menu will appear when you open any page except for the admin page. Now, through that menu, you can choose scripts you want to merge or exclude easily.
