  Full detail

  WP-Optimize can store these in a visitor's browser: wpo_commented_post (cookie, necessary: Shows a commenter the page with their comment, outside the cache). Cookie Rocks recognises them from 2.9.8, with this category and purpose, and lists them in the cookie policy when it sees them.

• Depends on a setting · WP-OptimizeWP-Optimize Delay JS can stop the consent banner from showing

  setting “Delay JS” · by default: off

  Delay JS holds every script until the first interaction, banners included, unless they carry its exclusion mark. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 marks its scripts so they are never delayed.

  Seen in our tests, 17 October 2026, WP-Optimize 4.7.0.

  Full detail

  With Delay JS on, WP-Optimize delays every script until the first interaction, consent banners included, unless they carry its exclusion attribute: a banner without it may not be shown or clickable. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 marks its scripts so they are never delayed.

• Depends on a setting · WP-OptimizeWP-Optimize preloading downloads held trackers before the choice

  setting “Preload JavaScript files” · by default: off

  With Preload JavaScript files on, the browser downloads held scripts such as Google's gtag.js early, without running them. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 hides their address from it.

  Seen in our tests, 17 October 2026, WP-Optimize 4.7.0.

  Full detail

  With Preload JavaScript files on, WP-Optimize adds a preload link for every script, so the browser downloads a held tracker (for example Google's gtag.js) before the choice, without running it. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 hides the address of held scripts from it.

• Depends on a setting · WP-OptimizeWP-Optimize Delay JS waits for scroll or mouse movement, not click or key

  setting “Delay JS” · by default: off

  There is no timeout, and scripts run one by one in page order. Its exclusion list checks script addresses only; a script written in the page needs the data-no-delay-js attribute.

  Read in its code, 16 October 2026, WP-Optimize 4.7.0.

  Full detail

  WP-Optimize's Delay JS releases scripts only on the first scroll, mousemove, mouseover, resize, touchstart or touchmove, with no timeout and not on click or keydown; it moves each src to data-src, runs scripts one by one in document order, then dispatches fake DOMContentLoaded and load events. Its exclusion list compares src only, so an inline script can be kept out only with the data-no-delay-js attribute.

• Good to know · WP-OptimizeWP-Optimize serves one cached file to every visitor

  A consent cookie creates no separate version unless a developer adds it. Its only cookie, wpo_commented_post (1 week), follows a comment. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 empties its cache on save.

  Read in its code, 16 October 2026, WP-Optimize 4.7.0.

  Full detail

  WP-Optimize serves one cached file to every visitor; a consent cookie does not create a separate version unless a developer adds it with the wpo_cache_cookies filter. Its only cookie is wpo_commented_post (1 week, path of the post) after a visitor posts a comment, to skip the cache there. The free version adds no request to another site and has no WP Consent API or Consent Mode code. Cookie Rocks 2.5.1 empties WP-Optimize's page cache when its settings are saved.
