AAA Option Optimizer

The free AAA Option Optimizer plugin helps identify which autoloaded options are actually in use. It quietly monitors your site activity and builds a clear picture of what’s needed and what isn’t. Once that data is collected, you can either delete unused options or simply prevent them from autoloading.

Why do you need AAA Option Optimizer?

Your WordPress site pulls data from various plugins and themes. These settings are stored in the wp_options table and help your plugins function properly. But when a plugin is deactivated, its settings may remain. Many of these settings are still autoloaded every time a page loads. And this can slow your site down.

How AAA Option Optimizer works

After installing the plugin, it needs to track activity across your site’s frontend and backend. You can let it run as you use your site normally over a few days, or you can manually visit every page on your site and in the admin.

Once you’ve done that, head over to the plugin’s settings screen. You’ll see a list of unused options there. From there, you can choose to remove the unused option completely or disable the autoloading for specific options.

Cleaning up unused options can make your site faster and more reliable.

Frequently asked questions

Is AAA Option Optimizer free?

Yes, AAA Option Optimizer is completely free to use. You can download it from the WordPress plugin directory, and it’ll monitor your site right away.

Why does it say option X is unused, while it’s clearly in use by plugin Y?

The plugin relies on tracking. If you have not yet visited the page or feature where that option is used, it may not be marked as active. Try visiting that part of the site and check again later.

I’ve deleted an option. Can I restore it?

No, you cannot restore a deleted option. Make sure you no longer need it before removing the option.

I’ve removed an option from autoloading. Can I set it to autoload again?

Yes, you can set the option to autoload again. Go to the “Used, but not autoloaded” tab and press “Add autoload”.
