Greatly enhances privacy of your website by embedding external scripts and styles.

Philipp Stracker

One-click solution to automatically serve external assets from your local website.
No configuration and no coding required – activate the plugin and forget about it.
<h3>1. Disclaimer</h3>
This plugin does not provide any guarantees of making your website GDPR-compliant. As a website operator, you are always responsible to verify if this plugin works for you and collect consent for external scripts before loading them in the visitor’s browser.
<h3>2. How it works</h3>
Short: External files are downloaded to your WordPress installation (into the uploads-folder) and then served from there.
More details:
The plugin scans every URL that is enqueued via <code>wp_enqueue_script()</code> and <code>wp_enqueue_style()</code>. When detecting an external URL, that file is saved to your uploads-folder and served from there.
It also scans the contents of CSS files for external dependencies and also saves those files to your uploads-folder!
Heads-up: For technical reasons, we cannot scan the contents of JS files for such dependencies – JS files can always inject external assets
No Output Buffer:
This plugin does not add any “output buffering” but scans the URLs which are enqueued via recommended WordPress functions.
As a result, GDPR Cache Scripts & Styles has practically no performance impact on your response time, no matter how big your website is.
Background worker:
To speed up your website’s loading time, all assets are downloaded in a background process: When a new asset is detected, or a cached file expires, a worker-task is enqueued.
The queue is then processed in an asynchronous process; while the queue is processed, your website could still serve the external assets for a while – usually the queue is processed within one or two minutes.
<h3>3. Options Page</h3>
You’ll find the plugin options page at “Tools > GDPR Cache”. On that page you can refresh and purge your website’s cache.
Here you can also review a full list of all files that are locally cached, and review the expiration date of each file – when a file expires, the plugin downloads a new version of it from the remote server.
Additionally, when you deactivate the plugin, the entire cache is purged (all files are deleted and relevant DB values are reset)
