How we cleared a jQuery conflict that froze a SaaS marketing site after migration

A SaaS marketing site froze on mobile menu tap right after a host migration. The team was about to roll the whole migration back. We traced it to two plugins loading conflicting jQuery versions, deduped the load order, and shipped a permanent fix in one session. Full recorded evidence is available on request during a discovery call.

The challenge

Mobile users could not open the navigation. A console error showed jQuery was being loaded twice with conflicting versions, breaking the menu toggle script. The old host had silently merged the duplicate. The new host did not.

What we did

  1. 1

    Reproduced the freeze on a real device, captured the console and network trace.

  2. 2

    Identified the two plugins enqueueing their own jQuery copies.

  3. 3

    Wrote a small mu-plugin to dedupe jQuery and force the WordPress core version.

  4. 4

    Retested every interactive element across 8 device and browser combinations.

The result

Mobile navigation was working again the same session. No rollback needed. The mu-plugin became part of the client's standard migration checklist so the same trap never happens again on future host changes.

We were one hour from rolling back the entire migration. They fixed it in one call and explained exactly why. Client identity withheld under NDA. Full Loom recording and dated evidence are available on request during a 15 minute discovery call.

Common questions

Why did the old host hide the conflict?

Some hosts ship aggressive script optimisation that silently dedupes duplicate libraries. Move off that host and the underlying bug surfaces.

Is this common after migration?

Yes. Plugin script conflicts and cache layer differences are the two most common post migration breakages we see.
