  • Wow, a plugin to solve the autoloader problem

    AAA Option Optimizer solved a problem I'd previously found unsolvable. The interface is clear, simple, logical, and comprehensive. Thank you!

  • Great for short term use

    The plugin was great for short term use to figure out unused options from old plugins after clicking through each page. It really helped to reduce autoloaded options.When letting it run along for a while as suggested, though, it seems that its database saves were so large it caused our database to use up all the RAM and make our site unusable. So beware of that and only use it for a few days.Edit: The Developer reached out immediately and is working on the issue. Great support!

  • Requested options that do not exist question

    Under "Requested options that do not exist", I'm not sure to trust setting these to false. Is there a way to revert any actions I take. How do I know if these actions are actually needed or do I just trust this plugin's assessment that they are basically broken and so can be set to false? SOME EXAMPLES: Option: advancedexcerpt_length | Source: Unknown | # Calls: 904564Option: analyst_accounts_data | Source: Unknown | # Calls: 24907Option: analyst_notices | Source: Unknown | # Calls: 24907Option: code_embed_version | Source: Unknown | # Calls: 904564Option: https_migration_required | Source: Unknown | # Calls: 904564 Thanks for your help

  • A joke!!!

    I wonder how on earth a plugin tha promises to optimize the wp_options tables, stores 25MB of data in the option_value !!!! Maybe the guy who developed it does not understand the fundamentals of the internal database optimizers but such a huge deviation, totally ruins MariaDBs/MySQL internal optimizer. You see optimizers work on the assumption that in a table, the fields have somewhat related sizes. For more details please go to MariaDB Jira and check for cases MDEV-34097 and MDEV 32663If you add records with huge sizes (say > 100k) in wp_options table where each option is usually less than 30Bytes, then you have an issue. In our case the issue was caused by the very plugin that we used to monitor our options (that are by and large incorrect). Avoid it at all costs.

  • Very helpful

    Easily identified what was bloating my options table and allowed to set it to not autoload. Thank you!
