Admin area -> plugins -> loading super slow

@picturebreeze thank you for reporting this and I’d definitely look into it as it’s enough one setting or an incompatibility issue between plugins to cause this which is surprising me, to be honest as from what you’re saying it takes an awful lot of seconds to go through the Dashboard’s pages when the plugin is active. I’ve never experienced it in any environment and I’m positive these kind of cases are fairly isolated.

I’d like to know whether you’re on dedicated or shared hosting, your hosting company, PHP version and a list of plugins that you use. Ideally, I’d like your “System Info” from “Tools” (Asset CleanUp). If you can hide the website URL and other sensitive data and provide me the rest of the contents that would be great. The more information you could provide to me, the better! Also, have you noticed this in previous versions of the plugin? Or is it something specific to 1.3.3.8?

I’m on shared hosting.
I can’t say anything about previous versions of the plugin. I just installed it maybe 2 weeks ago.

### End System Info ###

@picturebreeze thank you for the details. Everything looks good. I haven’t had a chance to test all the plugins.

Are you comfortable removing a line of code? If yes, you can edit the following file /wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/wpacu.php and remove the line require_once WPACU_PLUGIN_DIR.'/freemius-load.php';
Or comment it like this: //require_once WPACU_PLUGIN_DIR.'/freemius-load.php';

This will deactivate the Freemius SDK. I have a suspicion that it adds up to that load time in your WordPress environment, for some reason.

Thanks. I took that line out and it seems like it solved the problem. Going to watch it closely for a few days.
Thanks for the help.

@picturebreeze note that I’ve implemented a way to disable “Freemius Insights & Analytics” which will be pushed in the next update (which will be 1.3.3.9). Once you perform the Asset CleanUp plugin update, just go to “Settings” -> “Plugin Usage Preferences” and mark “Disable Freemius Insights & Analytics” (see the reference below)
