AutoLoadoper

Smart WordPress autoload management with plugin ownership detection.

AutoLoadoper helps you audit, understand, and safely manage autoloaded options in the wp_options table. See what loads on every request, identify likely plugin owners, disable unnecessary autoload rows, and keep a full change history — all from a modern admin screen under Tools → AutoLoadoper.

Why autoload matters

WordPress loads every option marked autoload = yes into memory on every page request. Over time, plugins and themes can leave behind large or unused autoload rows that slow down admin and front-end performance.

AutoLoadoper makes it easier to:

1. Find oversized autoload options (wp_options performance hotspots).
2. See which plugin likely owns each option.
3. Safely disable autoload for non-critical rows without deleting data.
4. Track changes and roll back when needed.

Proper autoload hygiene is one of the most effective low-risk ways to improve WordPress database and request performance.

Installation

1. Upload the autoloadoper folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate AutoLoadoper from the Plugins screen.
3. Go to Tools → AutoLoadoper.
4. (Recommended) Run a Code ownership scan for more accurate plugin mapping.

Usage

1. Review stats — check autoload size and count in the header cards.
2. Read smart tips — follow suggested presets for large or orphaned options.
3. Run a scan — click Start scan (or Continue scan if interrupted). Re-scan after installing or removing plugins.
4. Filter the table — use presets, ownership filters, min size, and search.
5. Toggle autoload — turn autoload off for safe candidates; re-enable from history if needed.
6. Export — download a CSV of the current filtered view.

Critical options & CONFIRM flow

Some WordPress core options (e.g. siteurl, home, active_plugins) are marked Critical. Disabling their autoload requires explicit admin consent: confirm the warning dialog, then type exactly CONFIRM. This prevents accidental site breakage.

Multisite

AutoLoadoper operates on the current site's options table. On Multisite, switch to the target site (or use network admin site switching) before managing autoload options for that site.

Safety

• Disabling autoload does not delete option data — it only stops loading the row on every request.
• Core and critical options show warnings before changes.
• All toggles are logged in Change history with restore support.
• Always back up your database before bulk changes.

Disclaimer: Ownership detection is best-effort heuristics — not 100% guaranteed. Verify important options before disabling autoload, especially on production sites.
