    There is an old version at https://www.blogseye.com/options-optimizer.zip

    I no longer support the options optimizer and the functionality was moved to the Stop Spammers plugin. I sold the stop spammers plugin so I don’t know if it is still a component.

    Hi, Guys.
    Is there a place from where I can still download OptionsOptimier plugin? I can find it in the WordPress repository. Thank you!

    I am using PHP functions. I am not sure what the memory is showing or what is loaded. I would use it as a relative comparison to show the effects of loading and unloading options, not as an absolute measure of memory.

    Hi, very handy plugin! Just to mention that the used and peak memory displayed on the plugin management screen is showing 64,369,664, Peak: 64,747,504 and does not seem to change. In source files it is showing Current: 49,967,224, Peak: 50,353,040
    Cheers

    Hi Keith, is this plugin still active and usable with WP 3.8.1?

    Keith, thanks a lot – I’m not short in memory at all, so probably not that important, but thought it can’t hurt to get rid of unused stuff anyway.

    Most plugin options are loaded all at once after WordPress finishes initializing but before it loads the plugins. If you set the options to not load automatically, they load only when the plugin asks for them. Options don’t add very much to the load time, but they take up lots of memory and in a situation where WordPress is short on resources might even cause it to fail with a 500 error. Setting an option that you know you will use to auto will save time loading the option. Setting an option so it does not autoload will save memory when it is not used, but slow the page slightly when it is loaded.

    You can check to see if setting an option will save on memory. Some options are only a few bytes and don’t matter. Some options are very large.

    There is no way to check if an option is loaded or not, although it might be a good thing to check in a future release.

    Great plugin, very useful.

    Is there a way to check whether a loaded option is ever being used later on, besides checking the loading time of a page? I’m kind of unsure to which plugins many of the options are related to and just deactivating one or two options don’t change the loading time of a page significantly enough to see any difference in loading time.

    Thanks!

    Awesome plugin. I got my site all cached up with Supercache and CDN etc. that I don’t need all these options to be loading at every page view.

    But, a select all button at the top of the list of options would be icing on the cake.
