Is this normal? I didn’t noticed the same behavior earlier.

  1. jQuery-UI is included in every default WP installation.
    Whether it is loaded depends on your theme and/or plugin(s).

    Three Options:

    • live with it
    • disable plugins one by one (and switch theme), figure out which is responsible and whether that’s needed
    • manually deregister it (something, i.e. a plugin, will probably break)

  2. Are you using “Events-Manager” plugin?
    There is an option to disable loading of unnecessary scripts.
    I found this to be the cause of all the extraordinary jquery.ui files.

    You can change the loading here:
    visit the backend of your wordpress install > Events > Settings > General Tab > Performance Optimization
    THEN
    Limit JS file loading?
    Change this to YES

    Limit loading of our CSS files?
    Change this to YES also.

    Hit [ Save Changes (All) ]
    And you should be set

  3. I had the same issue, My website used to load over 20 jquery ui scripts. I fixed it by disabling the plugin : Powie’s Page Cloud Widget

    If anyone has this issue, just disable all plugins and enable one by one. Because only plugins are responsible for this problem.
