WP Engine's aggressive full-page cache prevents PHP hooks like template_redirect from firing on cached pages. This branch removes the server-side gd_ls_capture() function and template_redirect hook, replacing them with a JS-based capture function in gd_ls_inline_script(). The JS handles: - Parsing window.location.search for UTM params and gclid - Reading document.referrer for referrer classification - Referrer domain lists (search/social/AI) ported from PHP to JS - Cookie writes via document.cookie with same gd_ls_ prefix and 30-day expiration - Same first-touch / last-touch attribution rules as the PHP version - Landing page captured from window.location.href All PHP shortcodes, Formidable Forms, Contact Form 7, and Gravity Forms integrations are unchanged. Cookie names, form field selectors, and attribution behavior are identical between branches. Version bumped to 1.1.0-wpengine.
