I already did a GT metrics report for this particular test site and it’s running the Astra theme and typically you’ll see these fonts loaded from any sort of well a lot of custom themes and also page Builders do in this case you’ll see that Astra. Woff is loaded is 3.2 KB it takes about 250 Ms to load and it appears to be blocking here for about a hundred 3839 Ms so what we want to do is we want to preload this and have it load asynchronously
I’m with some of these other assets so the way we do that we can go over to plugins like add new will search for asset
install asset cleanup
activate
go to the settings of the plugin
then the settings the first thing that is going to ask you is if you want to prevent useless and often large CSS in JS files increasing you total page size I typically just
toggle I understand quick update all settings
and we’re ready to go can I will go back over to the gtmetrix waterfowl report click on the Astra. Woff file
so I’ll select
the the part of the URL that doesn’t include the domain name
copy that go back over to the tab for acid clean up
and I’m going to go down to local fonts now this is where you can add fonts to be pre-loaded so I will go ahead and paste the URL of the font that I want to preload
and click update all settings
okay so we’re updated will go ahead and clear the cache
flush out of the cash just to make sure
now we’ll head back over to our gtmetrix report
crec retest
and with any luck we’re going to see that the font is loading at the same time as other assets and is loading higher up on the waterfall
so let’s take a look
all right
so take a look at the waterfall and we can see that where is it there it is okay so now this font is loading in 77 Ms and it’s loading concurrently with other resources and it’s loading a fairly high up on the waterfall so that’s how to increase a little bit of performance bye-bye pre-loading some of your local fonts and by the way you can do this with multiple fonts so if you have multiple fonts that are blocking you can put them all over here in the settings plug-in and and gain some performance that’s all for today
unloads scripts from pages that really don’t need to load those scripts and it’s very easy to do they also they have a test mode which makes the changes visible to just use so in case you break something you don’t need the world to see it so here’s how it works
on on every page you’re going to have this little section in the bottom and you just go through here and this one is for a Melia which is the plug-in I use for my appointments calendar
there’s no calendar on this page so I don’t need that so I can click unload on this page
better click to tweet yeah kind of I might want someone to tweet something from that page choose scripts that you think aren’t going to load on this page and if it breaks something then
uncheck it
sometimes it’s just trial and error disabling the scripts on this particular page that you don’t need
This thing works so well! We have a managed wordpress site from GoDaddy and despite all my efforts, we could not get a better score on GTMetrix than a “D”. Then here comes Asset Cleanup with mad capability and we were able to slowly creep up in a day to an “A” score. Took lots of trial and error turning thing on and off, minify, and following their best practices. But it worked and you can definitely see it, notice it, and get those high scores to improve SEO. Thank you so much!
Pretty usefull When i realized that gutenberg was loaded on frontend even when its disabled i thought there must a way to really disable it and thanks to this plugin i can now be gutenberg free 🙂
It works like a wonder *****
All good, nothing more to say 😀 Very nice plugin. I highly recomend it.
Great plugin! Helps a lot with speed.
Best Asset Optimization plugin, ever! I’ve tried quite a few others, but the Asset CleanUp plugin gives me the best control and support, by far. It can disable plugins and assets, condition on logged-in vs. non-logged-in visitors, or selected page/posts…
¡Excelente Complemento! ¡Excelente Complemento!
Incredible Plugin This incredible plugin has increased my websites speed so much. It has greatly improved my SEO
Zero support- even when you apply for paid options The plugin made a massive difference a year ago but no longer does. (I guess this is the new Google page experience algorithm.) G-Metrix waterfalls show its own code blocks page load.
The “support” is arrogant and unhelpful when they do bother to respond and mostly unresponsive – even when you apply for the “paid consultations” and “pay them to configure the plugin for you” options because you think you’re messing it up.
Don’t waste your money – you won’t get any “support” for the pro plugin.
In frustration I paid another “Codeable expert” just under $1000 to implement. His solution was to delete the plugin and install others – which made things worse.
So – Gabriel Livan won’t help you because he’s “too busy” and no-one else can.
Excellent plugin to exclude selected JS This is an awesome plugin. Hats off to the developer(s) behind it.
