Installation
Install the Suite ZIP, activate your key, then open GaiaWP → Loader. The plugin auto-detects active plugins and their asset weight (CSS/JS KB per page) so you know what to target first.
Your first rule in 5 minutes
- Loader → Add rule → pick plugins (e.g. WooCommerce, Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7).
- Set condition: URL contains /blog/ → action Unload. Keep mode on Safe Mode (preview only).
- Visit a blog post logged-in: admin bar shows GaiaWP: 12 plugins unloaded, −640KB. Confirm layout intact.
- Flip to Enforce. Clear page cache. Re-test PageSpeed — typical jump 45 → 95+.
Rule tester (simulate any URL)
Loader → Tester: paste any URL (post, archive, ?add-to-cart), pick device + user state. The table shows exactly which plugins load vs. unload and why — copy the result link into your support ticket if unsure.
Device, role & URL logic
URL patterns
Exact, contains, regex. Exceptions win: unload everywhere except/checkout/.
Device
Unload heavy sliders on mobile only; keep desktop intact.
Role / state
Guests get the lean build; editors keep all builders loaded.
WooCommerce safeguards
Cart, checkout, account & ?add-to-cart are force-protected — rules never unload Woo there, even if you try. For shops: unload Woo on /blog/* and unload forms/sliders on /product/*. That pair alone cuts 86 → ~16 requests.
If something looks broken
- Append ?gaiawp_safe=1 to bypass all rules for your session.
- Check Loader → Log: which rule fired on that URL.
- Add an exception (that post type / URL) or narrow the condition, then re-enforce.
