Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Meteor Website Speed Optimization Addon

While the plugin may not be compatible with every setup, it's important to note that delaying scripts can have drawbacks in some cases. For mission-critical websites, we strongly recommend thorough testing of essential pages, forms, and your checkout process. If you encounter any issues, please report them by creating a support ticket. It's worth mentioning that the plugin is designed to leave no residual data on your server or database upon deactivation and removal. You are welcome to install it and assess its suitability for optimizing your site. After installing the plugin, we advise performing a comprehensive site test. If the results don't meet your expectations, you have the option to uninstall the plugin. You can also use Watchero to compare pages before and after optimization changes. Known issues WP Meteor is not compatible with Nitropack. Also, WP Meteor is known to have delay issues withElementor Offcanvas addon. Using the "Infinite Delay" option will postpone the activation of Google Analytics (GA) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) until there is user interaction. While we do provide this option due to popular demand, I do not recommend its use. If you choose to use it, please exercise caution and be aware that you do so at your own risk.
Once WP Meteor is enabled, you can add the query string parameter ?wpmeteordisable to a page URL to load the page without optimizations.
Use the wpmeteor_enabled filter and return false to disable WP Meteor completely, as in this example: add_filter('wpmeteor_enabled', function ($value) { global $post; if ($post && $post-> ID == 1) { return false; } return $value; });
Use the Exclusions tab to exclude scripts by matching src or inline content with regexp. Use the wpmeteor_exclude filter which accepts 2 arguments: $exclude and $content. The $content variable contains either the src attribute or the text content of the script tag. Return true if you want to exclude the script. Example: add_filter('wpmeteor_exclude', function ($exclude, $content) { if (preg_match('/yourscript.js/', $content)) { return true; } return $exclude; }, null, 2); Alternatively, you can use the script attribute data-wpmeteor-nooptimize="true" to exclude it from optimization.
Use the wpmeteor-frontend-adjust-wpmeteor filter in the following way: add_filter('wp-meteor-frontend-adjust-wpmeteor', function ($wpmeteor, $settings) { $wpmeteor['rdelay'] = 4000; // number of milliseconds to delay return $wpmeteor; }, 100, 2);
