From Lite to Pro
Keep the Asset CleanUp workflow you already understand, or start directly with Pro, then add plugin-level control, broader request targeting and advanced delivery rules where your site needs them.
Disable a plugin’s PHP and assets on selected front-end or Dashboard requests, before WordPress loads them.
Apply rules to posts, pages, archives, taxonomies, authors, search, 404s, dates and custom URI patterns.
Defer or async scripts, move files between HEAD and BODY, add device rules and manage hardcoded CSS or JavaScript.
Use Test Mode, Overview, rule counters, diagnostics and protected import/export before changes go live.

Works with your current stack
Asset CleanUp reduces what WordPress generates before the result reaches your cache. Your page cache, server cache or CDN can then deliver the lighter result.
Let only one tool handle each minify, combine or similar transformation to avoid overlapping work.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what people ask most. Anything else, ask before you buy.
No. Asset CleanUp Pro controls what WordPress loads and executes. Your page cache, server cache or CDN can then store and deliver a leaner, optimized result.
Yes. Asset CleanUp Pro is designed to complement caching and performance plugins. To avoid conflicts, disable overlapping features such as minification, combining or similar transformations so that only one plugin handles each task.
You stay in control of every rule. Start with clearly unnecessary assets or plugins, use Test Mode to preview your changes, and verify affected pages before making them live for visitors.
Yes. Plugins Manager can prevent selected plugins from loading on specific pages or WordPress contexts, reducing unnecessary PHP execution, database queries and frontend assets. Rules can also be applied to selected areas of the WordPress Dashboard.
Asset CleanUp Pro works independently of your theme or page builder and can manage assets and plugins from any source. Because every WordPress site is different, changes should be tested before going live. Test Mode lets you safely verify optimization rules without affecting regular visitors.
Yes. Its conditional rules are particularly useful on sites where different sections need very different resources, such as WooCommerce stores, membership sites and larger WordPress installations. You can keep plugins and assets where they are needed and unload them elsewhere.
No. Recognized staging, local and development environments do not count as production activations.
The installed plugin remains usable. An active license gives you access to future updates and priority support, including compatibility improvements for new WordPress, PHP and third-party plugin releases.
Actively maintained
Continuous updates keep Asset CleanUp Pro aligned with new WordPress, PHP and third-party plugin releases.

Yes. If EU VAT applies to your purchase, it is already included in the price displayed on this page. No VAT is added on top at checkout. The applicable rate is based on the EU country where you're established, as required by law.
Based on your location, the system automatically selects EUR, GBP or another available currency and includes any applicable EU VAT in the displayed price.
If you're an EU business outside the UK, where our business is located, enter a valid EU VAT number. After it is verified, the purchase can be zero-rated and the checkout total will be adjusted so you are not charged EU VAT.
If you do not live in a EU country (e.g. you are a tourist or a digital nomad transiting a EU country) and prefer, for any reason, to be charged in EUR/GBP, then you can choose "I don't need an EU VAT invoice" and you will not be issued a EU VAT invoice, but a standard one (e.g. you will input the country of your origin in the invoice).
