Assets Manager is no longer under active development. We recommend using Super Page Cache as it includes all Assets Manager features plus powerful caching capabilities.
In October 2025, Assets Manager was acquired by Super Page Cache. We’re retiring Assets Manager in favor of Super Page Cache to ensure users have access to the same asset optimization features they’re using now, plus additional caching capabilities for improved performance, compatibility, and a superior user experience.
You should know that, a lot of WordPress plugins developers forget performance when creating plugins. This means that a lot of them load self scripts/styles on every single post and or page of your site. This is not good, because it slows your site down.
That’s why we created the WP Asset…
It removed unused JS and CSS, and now my pages load in half the time. Perfect for people who want better PageSpeed scores without diving into code.
Great Plugin.
The easiest way to remove code from pages, EG removing WooCommerce files from a home page to improve page speed tests.
Excellent plugin to reduce the load time on your pages.
The Assets Manager menu shows at the top of the adminbar when viewing each page.
It’s useful to remove head scripts/styles that are only needed on a few pages, basically to police stuff plugins really should be doing on their own.
My biggest complaint is “assets manager” shows in the admin bar for ALL users even logged out! if the admin bar is visible. I suspect the author keeps that disabled on their site and doesn’t realize it shows. I have to hide the manager (making it impossible to edit) at all times because I do show the admin bar for the Friends plugin and other features.
At first I started with one star because haven’t found the button on which one get to the assets manager, then three stars because I wasn’t sure how it works, now after using it and dig into the code of the plugin I found it very good so that’s the five stars, works as expected!
Great work, thank you!
