Load a plugin only if it is used

Description

Hello

It would be nice if the core of wordpress natively handles the loading of the plugins according to the call or not by each of the pages for a widget or shortcode for example.

On my screenshot, I would need only xxx-card, wordpress-seo and wp-statistics for example

Thank's
William

@lawix Welcome to Trac!

You are correct in that WordPress does not use any type of autoloader, but there have already been long ongoing discussions in #36335 about it. For now, it's up to each plugin to responsibly load their code and assets only as needed.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate.
