Autoload Cleaner & Analyser
Autoload Cleaner & Analyser
Description
Is your WordPress dashboard slow? The culprit is often a bloated wp_options table.
Autoload Cleaner & Analyser is a professional diagnostic platform that helps you visualize, analyze, and clean up your database options.
Unlike simple cleanup scripts, it uses a crowdsourced signature database to identify which plugin owns which option—even if that plugin was deleted years ago.
🚀 Key Features
- Visual Command Center: Instantly see your “Top 5 Memory Hogs” and total “Cleanup Potential”.
- Smart Analysis Engine: Automatically identifies 780+ signatures (plugins, themes, and core options) so you know exactly what you are deleting.
- The “Transient Killer”: One-click cleanup for thousands of temporary cache files (
_transient_) that clutter your DB. - Forensic Trash System: Deleted items are moved to a separate “Trash” table, allowing you to Undo/Restore mistakes instantly.
- Global Bulk Actions: Select and modify thousands of rows across multiple pages with a single click.
- Developer Console: A hidden tool for power users to inspect raw data, toggle “Deep Clean” mode, and manage the JSON signature database.
🛡️ Safety First
We believe performance tools should be safe.
1. Trash, don’t Delete: We move options to a safety table first.
2. Core Protection: Critical WordPress options are locked and cannot be deleted.
3. Backup Awareness: The system warns you if you haven’t backed up recently (via the Developer Console).

Faq
“Unknown” simply means our database doesn’t recognize the prefix yet. You should use the “Value Preview” tooltip to inspect the data. If it looks like it belongs to an old plugin you no longer use, it is likely safe to delete. Always make a full database backup before running bulk operations.
Yes! Items are moved to the “Trash” tab first. You can restore them with one click. If you “Delete Permanently” from the Trash, they are gone forever.
We love contributors! If you find a plugin prefix that isn’t in our database, please verify it and submit a Pull Request to our GitHub repository.
