Pagelean
Scripts and styles only where they are needed
Most plugins load their CSS and JavaScript on every page, even where their feature never appears. Pagelean lets you remove a specific script or style on exactly the pages where it is not needed - using the standard WordPress enqueue system, with no page-builder lock-in.
FREE · GPL · No external services

See it in action
Every page carries someone else's weight
A contact-form script on your checkout, a slider stylesheet on your blog posts, a social-share bundle on your privacy policy. That weight slows every visit, even though the feature never appears there.
- ✗ Plugins load CSS and JS everywhere, not just where they run
- ✗ More requests and heavier pages mean slower loads
- ✗ Hand-removing from functions.php is fragile and easy to lose
- ✗ Page builders do the same but lock you into their ecosystem
Pagelean removes exactly what you tell it to
- ✓ Type the handle of the script or style to remove
- ✓ Choose where: everywhere, front page, blog, single posts by ID, mobile or desktop
- ✓ Handle hints drawn from the ones registered on your site
- ✓ Runs late on the front end, never in the admin
What you get in the free version
Precise script and style removal, built on WordPress core.
Remove any handle

Per-page conditions
Everywhere, the front page, the blog index, single posts/pages by ID, or mobile-only / desktop-only.
Handle hints
Autocomplete from the handles registered on your site, instead of guessing names.
Plain core
Uses wp_dequeue_script / wp_dequeue_style, with no proprietary format and no lock-in.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a handle name?
Open the page, view source or the Network tab, and look at the id attribute of the script/link tags - it usually ends in -js or -css. The settings screen also offers autocomplete from the handles registered on your site.
Will this break my site?
It only removes what you configure. If a handle you remove is a dependency of another script, that other script may stop working. Change one rule at a time and verify the front end; removing a rule restores the asset instantly.
Does it work without WooCommerce or a page builder?
Yes. It uses WordPress core functions only and works on any theme.
Do rules run in the admin?
No. Rules apply on the front end only.
Does Pagelean minify or combine files?
No. It removes exactly what you tell it to - nothing automatic, nothing hidden.
