When pages load resources they do not use

A contact form’s files may load on the homepage, or store assets may appear outside the shop. Asset CleanUp Pro lets administrators review page resources and unload selected CSS or JavaScript on the homepage, individual posts and pages, custom post types, and other supported contexts. Manage assets from the Dashboard, a post or page edit screen, or the front-end view.

File-level rules can reduce HTTP requests, page weight, and browser work. The Plugins Manager can prevent entire add-ons from running on selected frontend or Dashboard pages, which may reduce PHP work and database queries before a page is generated. Pro also offers broader conditional rules, hardcoded asset management, device-specific rules, and advanced controls for JavaScript attributes and placement.

Test rules before visitors see them

Start with Getting Started, then enable Test Mode in the settings. While Test Mode is active, optimization rules apply only to you as a logged-in administrator. In the CSS & JS Manager, choose a page and begin with an asset that is clearly unnecessary there. Save the rule and check the page on desktop and mobile, including its menus, forms, popups, sliders, and other interactive functions. Clear page, server, and CDN caches. Disable Test Mode only after everything works correctly, then check the page once more as a logged-out user.

The Overview page gathers unload rules, exceptions, asset attributes, page settings, and leftover entries for review. Assets can also be managed from an edit screen or the front end.

CSS, JavaScript, and manual Critical CSS

• Minify and combine supported CSS and JavaScript, including supported inline code.
• Preload selected CSS and JavaScript files when earlier discovery is useful.
• Add, edit, and remove Critical CSS prepared by you for supported page contexts.

Asset CleanUp Pro does not generate Critical CSS automatically. It provides a place to organize CSS you prepare yourself by page context.

Fonts, pictures, and WordPress output

For Google Fonts requests, you can combine, preload, asynchronously load, or remove them, with font-display and preconnect controls. Local font files can be preloaded, and font-display can be applied. For images, set fetchpriority, loading, and decoding attributes using simple matching or regular expressions, and enable lazy loading where appropriate.

Cleanup options can remove Emojis, Dashicons for guests, Comment Reply, and selected discovery links, metadata, and oEmbed resources from the document head. You can disable RSS feed links or feeds, restrict or disable XML-RPC when the website does not rely on it, and strip supported HTML comments with exceptions where needed.

How asset rules work with caching

Asset CleanUp controls what WordPress outputs; it is not a page-caching plugin. Page caching, server caching, and CDN delivery can store and serve the resulting page. After changing rules, clear each active cache layer. Avoid enabling the same minification or combination capability in multiple optimization add-ons.
