Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster
PHP 5.6 or higher (PHP 7+ recommended). Using PHP 7 or newer can significantly improve your website’s performance, especially in the admin area.
Yes, but with limitations. Asset CleanUp works best on self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org). On WordPress.com: * Unloading CSS/JS files works as expected (core feature) * Some optimizations (like minify/combine) may not work due to restrictions Note: Installing plugins on WordPress.com requires the Business plan.
You can test your website using tools like: * https://gtmetrix.com/ * Google PageSpeed Insights These tools analyze how your website loads and highlight performance issues.
Assets are files used to build your website’s front-end, such as: * CSS (styles) * JavaScript (functionality) Asset CleanUp focuses on managing these files to improve performance.
No. Asset CleanUp does not cache pages. It helps you prevent unnecessary CSS & JavaScript files from loading, which works best alongside a caching plugin.
Yes. Asset CleanUp works with popular caching plugins such as: * WP Rocket * W3 Total Cache * WP Fastest Cache ⚠️ Important: Avoid enabling the same optimization features (e.g. minify/combine) in both plugins to prevent conflicts.
This is usually caused by how the files are loaded or by caching. Common reasons: * Files are hardcoded (not loaded via WordPress standard methods) * A caching plugin is interfering (especially for logged-in users) * Another plugin disables assets before Asset CleanUp runs (e.g. Plugin Organizer) If none of the above apply, please open a support thread and I’ll help you investigate.
Most of the time, this is caused by caching or testing conditions. Check the following: * Clear all caches (plugin, server, CDN) * Test the page while logged out (guest view) * Make sure no conflicting optimization is active For more details, see: https://assetcleanup.com/docs/changes-applied-not-taking-effect/
You can get access to more features, priority support and automatic updates by upgrading to the Pro version. It's strongly recommended to avoid using any Asset CleanUp Pro nulled versions as they might contain malware and you will also not get any official support and access to plugin updates (e.g. bug fixes).
Usually yes! But not always. Many themes and plugins rely on jQuery, so removing it can break functionality.
