AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster is a category-leading WordPress app with an established review history. It is listed in the Page Speed category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1,558 reviews show steady adoption but the app hasn't crossed the heavy-volume bar yet. Review accumulation at this stage tends to come from segment-specific use cases rather than universal adoption, so fit-to-stack matters more than category-leader brand recognition. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

- +1,558 reviews provide statistical reliability for the rating average
- +Published by Gabe Livan — established developer track record

How Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster works
Show full descriptionShow less
Most WordPress sites load unnecessary CSS and JavaScript files, making pages slower than they should be. Strip the “fat” first and get a faster website!
Faster page load = Happier Visitors = More Conversions = More Revenue 🙂
When using a theme and multiple plugins, many styles and scripts are loaded on every page, even when they are not needed. Preventing unnecessary assets from loading makes your website faster and the HTML output cleaner.
For example, a contact form plugin may load its CSS and JavaScript files on every page, even if the form is only used on the contact page.
Asset CleanUp scans your page and shows all loaded assets. You can then unload the ones that are not needed, reducing page bloat and improving load speed.
The plugin works best alongside a caching plugin or CDN (e.g. Cloudflare) for maximum performance.
Main plugin’s benefits include
Unload (prevent from loading) unnecessary CSS & JavaScript files and decrease HTTP requests
Eliminate render-blocking resources for faster page load
Improve Core Web Vitals and performance scores (PageSpeed, GTmetrix, Pingdom)
