Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AAA Autoload Optimizer

The safest action — disabling autoload — is non-destructive. The option remains in your database and can still be loaded on demand. Deleting an option is permanent, so only do that for options you're confident are no longer needed (e.g., from plugins you've already removed). Always back up your database before making bulk changes.

Disabling autoload can be reversed from the "All Options" tab. Deleting an option is permanent. If you need it back, you'll need to restore from a database backup.

A few days of normal browsing is usually enough. If you have a lot of visitors, a few hours might even suffice. The goal is to visit every major page on your site (front end and admin) so the plugin can record which options are actually used. If you're thorough, you can start optimizing sooner.

The plugin currently targets single-site installations. Multisite compatibility has not been officially tested.

The plugin identifies the source of each option (which plugin, theme, or WordPress core). If an option belongs to a plugin you've already deactivated and removed, it's generally safe to delete. When in doubt, disable autoloading instead of deleting — it's the safer choice.

Yes, always back up your database before optimizing. Disabling autoload
