How do I dequeue unused CSS and JavaScript in WordPress?

Run a scan, review the Safe and Aggressive recommendations, then apply them: with Code Unloader installed, click Sync with Code Unloader or Push to Code Unloader ; without it, download the JSON rules and import them into your asset manager. The rules dequeue the listed files only on the pages where they are not needed.

Does AI Assets Scanner unload CSS and JavaScript by itself?

Scans generate recommendations without applying changes. You can inspect results without Code Unloader; install it on the scanned site to apply rules with Push/Sync or import the exported JSON. Unloading stops files from loading on selected pages; it does not delete them.

What is the difference between Safe and Aggressive rules?

Safe rules target assets not loaded on the scanned page. Aggressive rules target loaded assets that passed the scanner’s removal checks. Automated checks cannot cover every interaction or visitor state, so review the rules and test your pages after applying them.

Is this the same as remove unused CSS, caching, or minification?

No. AI Assets Scanner targets whole files on specific pages. It complements caching, minification, and remove-unused-CSS tools that reduce selectors inside stylesheets. It does not disable entire plugins.

Can I optimize CSS and JavaScript loading without minifying?

Yes. Unloading whole files on the pages that do not use them removes their requests entirely, which minification and combining cannot do. Both can be used together: unload what a page never needs, then minify what remains.

Will this speed up my site and improve PageSpeed or Core Web Vitals?

Unloading unnecessary assets can improve frontend performance. Results depend on your theme, plugins, and other bottlenecks. Compare before-and-after tests; no particular PageSpeed or Core Web Vitals result is guaranteed.

My site is behind Cloudflare. Will scans be blocked?

A firewall or rate limit can block scans. Settings provides guidance and a Cloudflare WAF rule using a site-specific scanner header. Review access warnings before relying on an incomplete result.

What is removed when I delete the plugin?

The plugin’s options, scan history, stored results, scheduled tasks, and saved API key are removed from WordPress. Export your history first if you want to keep it.

I installed AI Assets Scanner from wpservice.pro before it was on WordPress.org. How do I switch?

The WordPress.org edition lives in a different plugin folder, so WordPress sees it as a new plugin. Switch in this order:

1. 01If you want to keep your scan history, open Scan History and click Export to ZIP .
2. 02Deactivate the old AI Assets Scanner. Do not delete it yet.
3. 03Install and activate Dr. Speed: AI Assets Scanner from Plugins > Add New . Your API key, credits, and settings carry over.
4. 04Remove the old plugin’s folder, wp-content/plugins/ai-assets-scanner , with FTP or your host’s file manager. Do not use the Delete link: the old version’s delete routine erases the scanner secret, worker address, and scan history that the new plugin now uses.

I deleted and reinstalled the plugin. Where is my key?

Deleting the plugin removes the saved key from your site, but the key and its credits stay on wpservice.pro. Open Settings and click Validate your key : the same key comes back with its remaining credits. Deactivating the plugin does not remove the key.
