Foreign trade websites built with WordPress often have dozens of plugins with different functions installed, which can make the site feel slow. We can
use the optimization plugin Asset CleanUpto help make the website a bit faster. For
Google SEO OptimizationFriends all know that website speed is a factor affecting search rankings. Below, follow Naibabiji to use Asset CleanUp to optimize your website's speed.
1. Install Asset CleanUpThe method to install Asset CleanUp is very simple. Just search for Asset CleanUp directly in the WordPress Admin Dashboard and install it.
If downloading manually, the plugin address is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/
2. After installation, we activate it.. We enter
Plugin Settings, we need to first read "Stripping the "fat"", as shown in the image below:
At the very bottom of the page, there is a statement: 'I understand how the plugin works and I will make sure to make proper tests (via 'Test Mode' if necessary) after the changes I'm making. I'm aware that unloading the wrong CSS/JS files can break the layout and front-end functionality of the pages I'm optimising.' We need to check the option to read it and then save the settings by clicking 'Update All Settings' for the plugin to work. For safety, we can also enable the 'Test Mode' at the same time.
3.If you are using other optimization plugins, then we can directly go to the homepage or Post page to streamline resources. If you are not using other optimization plugins, then
you can switch to the following items to set them up:。
- Site-Wide Common Unloads: Remove common CSS and JS files like site-wide emojis, comment code, etc.;
- HTML Source CleanUp: Clean up HTML tags in the header;
- Local Fonts: Local fonts, generally not needed;
- Google Fonts: For domestic websites, directly select "Remove All". For foreign trade websites, you can merge requests;
- Disable XML-RPC: Disable the XML-RPC protocol. If not used, it can be completely disabled.
4. Find any Post or Page and click Edit, then you will see an additional "Asset CleanUp: CSS & JavaScript Manager" area below the editor.
5. Scroll down the screen to view the JS and CSS files of plugins that do not need to be loaded on the current page, and select "Unload". 
For example, in the screenshot,
LuckyWP Table of ContentsThis plugin is used to add a table of contents to Posts. It is clearly not needed on the Naibabiji homepage, so I selected "Unload on this page". For a Foreign Trade Independent Website, the homepage slider plugin, contact form plugin, etc., can be unloaded on Post pages. After selecting the content to unload, update the Post, and the optimization function is set.
6. Finally, let's check the optimization effect. 
From the screenshot above, it can be seen that before optimization, the website homepage had 52 requests and was 918kb in size. After optimization, requests were reduced to 37, and the page size became 590kb, a reduction of 328k. The official recommendation is to use it in conjunction with
WP Rocketfor better results. Finally, here is a
gtmetrixperformance score screenshot.
Note: If you go to GTmetrix to test the score of Naibabiji, please select a Hong Kong server (because my server is domestic, Hong Kong access is the fastest). The score for "Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)" is F. That's because the website did not recognize the CDN used by this site (images use CDN, the website does not. My website speed is fast enough, so I don't need a CDN. Therefore, this score can be ignored.) Finally, Asset CleanUp has a Pro version. The Pro version can inline JavaScript files, defer loading of CSS files, manage CSS and JS files on more directories and pages like categories, etc. Users with strong needs can purchase it. For ordinary users, the free version is sufficient. If you like this article, remember to share it.
