Upgrading to the premium plugin allows you to unload unused styles & scripts on extra pages such as:

Taxonomy pages such as default WordPress’ categories, tags and custom created ones such as products’ categories from WooCommerce.
Author pages (e.g. the page showing all posts published by a specific author, detected via is_author() function)
Default WordPress Search Page
WooCommmerce Search Page (which has the same settings as the actual shop page detected via is_shop() function)
404 Page (Not Found): this one has be as light as possible and it’s less likely that many of the CSS and JavaScript files that are needed here (detected via is_404() function)
Date Archive Page: this is any page that retrieves articles filtered by the date, detected via is_date() function

As for the loaded JavaScript files, attributes such as defer and async can be applied

There are a plethora of techniques that are often used to defer parsing; however, the simple and preferred technique is to simply Defer loading of JavaScript until it is needed. If this technique isn’t appropriate to use on your page, it is next suggested that you use the attribute where appropriate, which prevents parsing from blocking the initial page load by deferring it until the browser’s UI thread is not busy doing something else. All these settings can be applied with Asset CleanUp Pro without writing any code.

Change the location of the CSS/JS files (could be moved from HEAD to BODY to prevent render-blocking or vice-versa if you need early triggering of specific files)

“Test Mode” Functionality → Worried about making optimization mistakes? Don’t be anymore!

This allows you to optimize the website (unload useless files, set async, defer to loaded JavaScript files, clean up HTML code) without applying the changes “live” (to the regular visitor) in case you ever have any doubts that a change could break the functionality of the page/website. Any changes you’ve done will only be applied for you (the logged in administrator). Once you’re happy with how the page looks and works, you can disable “Test Mode” to push the changes live so everyone else can enjoy the faster page loads 😉

v1.2.8.3Verified Safe

Oct 5, 20262.8 MB

View changelog

* **New:** Added "Alternative Assets" to the CSS/JS Manager. Create and edit lighter alternatives for CSS and JavaScript assets that still need to load, choose where the alternatives are used, and compare their sizes without modifying the original source. * **Improvement:** Reduced redundant processing during Combine CSS/JS cache validation and avoided unnecessary cache rebuilds when separate inline JavaScript, JSON content, or CSP nonce values change. * **Improvement:** Import/Export preserves Pro settings and rules when transferred through Lite, ready for use after upgrading to Pro. * **Fix:** Improved Combine CSS/JS reliability, including asset ordering, cache invalidation, regeneration of missing combined files, and homepage cache cleanup. * **Fix:** Improved JavaScript combining and BODY defer handling to preserve script execution order and existing defer behavior while safely applying defer to eligible BODY scripts.

v1.2.8.2Verified Safe

Sep 28, 20262.6 MB

View changelog

* **Added:** Roll back Asset CleanUp Pro to an eligible previous version from "Tools" (plugin's menu) - "Rollback", with version selection and confirmation before installation. Existing settings are preserved. * **Security — Admin Bar:** Fixed a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin bar by validating asset unload parameters and escaping dynamic output (CVE-2026-92236). Reported by 'Huseyn (mekhatai) Gadashov' via Wordfence. * **Security — Comment Content XSS:** Completed the fix for the stored cross-site scripting via comment content (follow-up to CVE-2026-13354). The final cleanup of the plugin's temporary `data-wpacu-*` attributes on ` ` tags — previously two whole-document replacements — is now scoped to each ` ` tag and uses bounded, quote-aware patterns. Reported by 'crow' via Wordfence. * **Security — Front-end HTML Cleanup:** Removed the last remaining whole-document replacement from the HTML cleanup step (it stripped `data-wpacu-style-handle` from ` ` tags); that cleanup now runs through the same tag-scoped methods. Found during the internal review that followed the report above. Every temporary-attribute cleanup is now confined to the tag it belongs to and cannot touch any other part of the page, including user-submitted content.
