Argh… it turn’s out that I was having problems with postmeta and options data being mixed. There went a day’s coding a migrator when I didn’t need it and doubt you either.
Anyways, just use the autoload cleanup and enforcer. That’s still quite valid.
~~Migrate left over <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" title="Advanced Custom Fields WordPress plugin" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> fields from wp_postmeta to wp_options while correcting autoload settings.~~
Convert previous ACF value migrations from autoload = ‘yes’ to ‘no’. This is very handy for performance optimization when you’ve got tens of thousands of custom fields. Can help drastically improve website load times.

Is your WordPress website loading slowly? The culprit is often hidden in plain sight: a bloated <code>wp_options</code> table.
Every time a visitor opens any page on your site, WordPress automatically loads all “Autoload” data from your database. Over time, as you install and uninstall plugins, this table fills up with “orphaned” data—leftovers that are no longer needed but continue to slow down every single page load. This increases your Time to First Byte (TTFB) and negatively impacts your SEO rankings.
Autoload Cleaner & Analyser is a professional-grade diagnostic platform designed to help you visualize, analyze, and safely remove this hidden bloat. Unlike simple scripts that can be dangerous, our plugin uses a forensic approach to database health.
Using a crowdsourced signature database, the plugin identifies the “owner” of almost every option (plugins, themes, or WordPress core). This gives you the confidence to delete data belonging to plugins you removed years ago, without the risk of breaking your current site.
<h3>🚀 Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Visual Command Center: Stop guessing. The dashboard provides an instant snapshot of your database health, highlighting your “Top 5 Memory Hogs” and calculating your total “Cleanup Potential.”</li>
<li>Smart Analysis Engine: Our engine automatically cross-references your options against 780+ known signatures. It categorizes rows as “Core,” “Active,” or “Orphaned” so you know exactly what you are looking at.</li>
<li>The “Transient Killer”: WordPress transients are temporary cache files. Many plugins fail to clean them up, leading to thousands of useless rows. Our one-click tool purges expired transients safely.</li>
<li>Forensic Trash System: Safety is our priority. Deleted items are moved to a custom “Trash” table first. You can Undo or Restore any option instantly if you realize it was still needed.</li>
<li>Global Bulk Actions: Select hundreds or thousands of rows at once. Toggle autoload status or move items to trash in seconds with our optimized bulk-processing logic.</li>
<li>Developer Console: A hidden powerhouse for advanced users. Inspect raw database values, manage the JSON signature file, and toggle “Deep Clean” mode for a thorough audit.</li>
</ul>
<h3>🛡️ Safety & Reliability Protocols</h3>
We believe a performance tool must be the safest plugin on your server: 
1. Trash-First Workflow: We never perform “hard deletes” on the first step. Data is always recoverable until you manually empty the trash. 
2. Core Protection: Essential WordPress system options are hard-coded as “Protected” and cannot be deleted by the plugin. 
3. Backup Integration: The system encourages best practices by detecting and alerting you to your backup status before performing major operations.
