• Hi, I was watching a video made by Louis of Soffly, the creator of OxygenBuilder. It was a tutorial on how to speed up any wordpress website.
    That is how I learned about asset cleanup. Having installed it now on 5 sites (the free version) I am very happy to report that my page speed on GTMetrix has improved on all 5 sites.
    I have seen reductions of several seconds, even when simply applying the easy to apply general unloads in the settings panel.
    Once you dig into it and unload more useless files such as contact form 7 files that always load even when not required, there is an even better saving.
    The test mode is awesome because it allows you to check the front end for any issues without your visitors seeing anything weird.Then you turn off test mode and the changes are live.
    I used GTMetrix free version on all of the sites and changed the server to one more local to my sites.
    The results for one site that I manage were particularly pleasing, an ecommerce site that has many many plugins and large images (owners choice not mine) and the speed went down to 2 seconds on Siteground hosting. Originally it was over 8 seconds.
    Thank you Gabriel, great product.
    I believe my next purchase will be the pro version to get those CPT and taxonomies sorted out too,
    Regards and best wishes
    Andy Mason
