Quickload v1.3: GTM helper, before/after PSI, and a hosted dashboard
A roundup of what shipped in v1.3 — the new GTM helper, dashboard wiring, before/after PageSpeed Insights, and a richer Discovered Scripts page.
v1.3 is the biggest release Quickload has shipped. Highlights:
Hosted dashboard
The plugin now optionally posts CWV samples and discovered scripts to app.usequickload.com. Two new settings — Dashboard endpoint and API token — turn it on.
Before/after PSI
The Performance page runs PageSpeed Insights twice (with and without Quickload, via a signed disable token) and shows the score delta plus per-metric improvement highlighting.
GTM helper page
Detected GTM containers? The new GTM helper page generates per-category timer-trigger snippets you can paste into your container.
Visual debug overlay
Sticky bottom-right badge with live trigger / deferred / fired counts. Loads only with ?quickload_debug=1 or the admin debug cookie.
Vendor categorization
Every discovered script gets tagged Analytics / Advertising / Heatmap / Chat / etc. with the vendor name where applicable.
Per-page-template trigger rules
Different triggers for different post types, page templates, or URL patterns.
WP-CLI
wp quickload status / scan / list / set-override / purge / export / reset-vitals.
Block editor
The new Quickload — Deferred Script block lets editors mark inline scripts with a per-block trigger picker.
Cache-plugin compat
WP Rocket and W3 Total Cache no longer fight Quickload. Detection + auto-disable happens at runtime.
