What it does
Every plugin you add can bring its own CSS and JavaScript into the WordPress dashboard. Often several of them load the same thing, such as multiple copies of FontAwesome or jQuery plugins registered under different handle names. The result is a heavier admin area with overlapping files on each page. This plugin targets that problem directly, focusing on the backend rather than the front end of your site.
It works through a managed interface that lists the scripts and styles loaded in the admin, in a table where you select the rows you want to dequeue. You can remove redundant resources without writing code, and the controlled setup is meant to keep essential backend functions from breaking by accident. It suits developers and administrators who run plugin-heavy sites and want a tidier, more responsive dashboard.
Best for
- Administrators of WordPress sites running many plugins
- Developers cleaning up cluttered admin dashboards
- Agencies maintaining plugin-heavy client sites

What kind of duplicate files can it handle?
