Cookie consent for Widgets for Google Reviews
reviews need their loader
Widgets for Google Reviews writes your reviews into the page, then waits for a script from Trustindex to show them. Stars, logos and reviewer photos load before the choice anyway. The plugin also removes consent markers that some consent tools add to scripts.

What Widgets for Google Reviews adds to your visitors’ browser

What matters for consent with Widgets for Google Reviews
No loader, no reviews
The widget stays hidden until the Trustindex loader formats it. If that script waits for consent, visitors see no reviews until they accept.
Images before the choice
Star icons, platform logos and reviewer photos are plain images, kept out of lazy loading. They load before any choice even when the loader waits. Widgets with an ID also add a stylesheet from Trustindex.
It removes consent markers
The plugin strips the consent attributes that consent tools add through WordPress’s script filter, and keeps its loader out of the delay features of some performance plugins. A script tag kept in the page with its type changed is not bypassed.
No consent setting
The plugin has no consent option and does not use WP Consent API. Cookie Rocks holds known trackers until the visitor agrees.

The review widget of Widgets for Google Reviews is written into the page by the server but hidden (opacity 0, height 0) until cdn.trustindex.io/loader.js formats it; if that script is held, visitors see no reviews until they accept. Its star icons and platform logos (cdn.trustindex.io) and reviewer photos are plain <img> tags with the skip-lazy class, so they load before any choice even when loader.js waits. Widgets with an ID also add a stylesheet from cdn.trustindex.io.
Good to know · Widgets for Google Reviews (Trustindex)Widgets for Google Reviews removes consent markers other tools add
It undoes markers added through WordPress and keeps trustindex.io out of three performance plugins' delay. A tag held as text/plain with its address is not bypassed. No consent setting.
Read in its code, 16 October 2026, Widgets for Google Reviews (Trustindex) 14.2.
Full detail
Widgets for Google Reviews removes consent markers that consent tools add through WordPress' script_loader_tag filter (attributes consent-required, consent-by, consent-id, and consent-original-src or type put back), at priority 9999999, and adds one consent plugin's ignore attribute to loader.js. It also excludes trustindex.io from the delay, minify and combine features of three performance plugins. An inline fallback recreates loader.js on DOMContentLoaded only if no script tag with its address is in the page, so a tag kept with its src as type="text/plain" is not bypassed. It has no consent setting and does not use WP Consent API.
