Asset CleanUp Pro is a powerful tool to optimize website performance by controlling the loading of stylesheets and scripts. Here is a summary of its features:
Features:
- Unload Unused Scripts and Styles:
- Allows unloading of CSS and JavaScript files on various pages where they might not be needed, such as taxonomy sites, author pages, default WordPress search, WooCommerce search, 404 page, and date archive pages.
- Control JavaScript Loading:
- Supports adding attributes like defer and async to loaded JavaScript scripts.
- Offers the option to defer loading JavaScript until it’s required, preventing it from blocking initial page load. Also suggests using the async attribute for non-critical scripts.
- Adjust Location of CSS/JS Files:
- Allows users to move CSS/JS files from HEAD to BODY or vice versa to prevent render-blocking issues.
- Unload Hardcoded CSS/JS:
- Provides the capability to unload CSS/JS added via PHP code directly in content, widgets, or plugins, which can otherwise lead to performance issues.
- Test Mode Functionality:
- Enables website administrators to make optimization changes without applying them live to the daily visitor.
- Allows administrators to preview changes only for themselves before pushing the optimized version live for all users.
- Ensures that changes are thoroughly tested and approved before implementing them site-wide.
By allowing users to unload unnecessary scripts and styles, adjust the loading of JavaScript, and provide a test mode for making changes safely, Asset CleanUp Pro seems to offer a comprehensive set of tools to optimize website performance without compromising functionality.
