What to verify before acting on jQuery evidence
- jQuery may be bundled and renamed, or loaded only for one legacy widget.
- Copied code examples can contain jQuery snippets without active runtime use.
Next workflow
- Confirm whether jQuery is first-party, plugin-loaded, or legacy third-party code.
- Review script count and payload findings.
- Pair library detection with accessibility and performance fixes on legacy pages.
