What Debloat adds to your visitors’ browser
No trackers In our test of Debloat 1.4.0 on 7 November 2026, the plugin itself added no tracker and no cookie. What you place in your pages with it, such as a video or a map, still counts.
What matters for consent with Debloat
Held scripts stay held
Debloat works on the page after the banner has rewritten it, and it only touches plain JavaScript. A held tracker keeps waiting for the choice.
Delay All Scripts and the banner
Debloat reads no common no-optimize attribute. With Delay All Scripts on, add the banner’s scripts to its delay exclusions, or the banner appears only after the first gesture.
Nothing of its own
Debloat does not merge scripts and sets no cookie or browser storage on visitor pages.

Full detail
Debloat's Defer JS, Delay JS and Delay All Scripts are off by default. It reads no standard no-optimize attribute: exclusions match the tag text (or id:, url:) in its Exclude Scripts lists and the filters debloat/delay_js_excludes and debloat/defer_js_excludes. Delayed scripts run on mousemove, mousedown, keydown, touchstart or wheel, or after the maximum delay; Defer Inline JS turns inline scripts into data: scripts with defer.
Good to know · DebloatDebloat leaves scripts held by a consent plugin untouched
Debloat works on the page after the consent plugin and only delays ordinary scripts, so a held script stays held. It sets no cookie or browser storage on visitor pages.
Read in its code, 16 October 2026, Debloat 1.4.0.
Full detail
Debloat's output buffer starts on template_redirect at priority -999, outside a consent plugin's buffer at a higher priority, so it receives the rewritten page; it delays or defers only scripts with no type or a type containing javascript, so a script held as text/plain stays held. It does not merge scripts, has no iframe lazy loading in 1.4.0, and sets no cookie or browser storage on visitor pages.

Every kilobyte costs your visitors time and costs you Core Web Vitals. Cookie Rocks adds 11.43 kB to the first page a visitor opens, then 1.00 kB to each page after that, because its files stay in the browser cache. It calls no outside server and never shifts your layout.
