HFP Widget Usage Scanner for Elementor

HFP Widget Usage Scanner for Elementor scans saved Elementor data to help site owners understand which widgets are actually used.

The scanner checks:

• Elementor pages and posts.
• Custom post types.
• Elementor Library documents.
• Theme Builder templates such as single and archive templates.
• Loops and popups saved as Elementor documents.
• Elementor-related post meta as an additional forensic pass.
• Registered widgets from Elementor, Elementor Pro, and third-party add-ons.

The report can show:

• Used widget types and instance counts.
• Exact documents where a widget was found.
• Widgets with only post-meta evidence.
• Registered widgets for which no usage was found.
• The plugin or theme source for registered widgets when it can be detected.
• Widgets disabled by this plugin.

Administrators can export the report as CSV and can disable or re-enable widgets. Before each disable action, the plugin performs a fresh scan and blocks the change when usage or forensic evidence is found.

Important limitation

Usage detection is best effort. Third-party extensions can store or generate widget references dynamically in ways that are not visible in normal Elementor document data or post meta. Review critical templates and keep a backup before disabling widgets, especially when using bulk actions.

This plugin does not delete Elementor content or widget data. Its disable feature prevents selected widgets from being registered through Elementor’s widget enable filter. Re-enabling restores widget registration.

Privacy

The plugin does not send site data to external services and does not include analytics or tracking.
