The optimiser (Pro)

What it does: One purchase covering everything that changes how the page is built — asset rules (defer, async, delay-until-interaction, dequeue) scoped globally, to the front end, to a post type or to a URL pattern; critical CSS; WebP/AVIF conversion; autoload and transient cleanup. How to access: VelocityForge > Assets, > Critical CSS, > Images, > Database. Notes:
  • It is one licence key (asset_rules), not three. A customer who pays for defer rules and then finds critical CSS locked has been sold a puzzle.
  • Hard rails cannot be overridden — not through a setting, not through a filter, not by editing the database. A rule against jQuery or checkout simply never applies.
  • Critical CSS: a PHP heuristic extractor, no headless browser. @font-face is always kept (a missing face is a flash of invisible text), @keyframes only when a kept rule references them, output is capped at 14 KB — the first congestion window — and the original stylesheet is always the fallback. The cache is invalidated on theme switch and plugin update.
  • Images: sidecars on upload and in bulk, served by the Accept header. Originals are never deleted — hard-coded, not a checkbox.
  • Autoload cleanup: options switched to autoload=no one at a time, each with a backup first, behind a deny-list protecting what WordPress itself needs autoloaded (cron, doing_cron, update transients). Uninstalling restores anything still unreverted, opt-in or not.
  • Every rule reverts individually, and the whole set switches off with Safe Mode.
