Hi @a223123131
We are already working on some modifications which will improve the scores in Lighthouse, but it will take some time.
So currently I can not really tell anything concrete about when will be able to release a version that contains the improvements.
Best regards,
Laszlo.
Yes, Lighthouse is mixing many things and requires a lot of changes. I’m confident that you are the first / best plugin to support Lighthouse optimization!

Is there an update on this feature?
@toad78
We are still working on it. For exmaple Smart Slider will not use jQuery on the frontend in the future also we are refactoring our code by removing compatibility codes for old, non supported browsers. I think that will decrease our overall frontend JavaScript code size by 10-30%.
Lighthouse might report that xx% of the JavaScript files are unused, but it is only valid for the loading. It’s not able to measure the codes which needed when you are changing slides, use different animations/autoplay and such features. Also it is not viable to split Smart Slider’s JavaScript into 1kb chunks as it would result a ton of network requests for those files instead of one of two.
