<p>Autoptimize is a popular performance plugin for WordPress. Among other features, Autoptimize creates and builds cached versions of optimized asset files descreasing page loading times.</p>
<p>But left unchecked, those cached files can become very large. That can slow page loading, increase web server load, and use unuecessary amounts of disk space.</p>
<p>This companion plugin provides a way to set the maximum allowable cache file size for your site and, if that size is exceeded, automatically clears your Autoptimize cache and allows it to rebuild itself. That’s good.</p>
<h3>Plugin Settings</h3>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard -> Settings -> Autoptimize Cache Settings</li>
<li>Select from one of the available <code>Maximum cache file size</code> options from the select menu and press the <code>Save Changes</code> button</li>
<li>Please note: You obviously must have Autoptimize plugin installed for this plugin to work</li>
</ol>
<h3>Roadmap</h3>
<ul>
<li>Release first stable versions</li>
<li>Add a time based WP_Cron setting that will clear cache every few days, week, month, etc.</li>
<li>Internationalization improvements</li>
</ul>


Autoclear Autoptimize Cache

My finger can now rest from clicking "save changes and empty cache" in autoptimize.

Great! Thanks

Automatically clear Autoptimize cache if it grows larger then the allowed option.

<p>This plugin extends Autoptimize to automatically create critical CSS rules. These rules inject the correct critical CSS in different types of pages to ensure these pages are rendered even before the full CSS is loaded, improving the “start to render time” and user experience. For this purpose the plugin integrates with <strong>criticalcss.com</strong>, a 3rd party service, to have it generate the critical CSS (see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize-criticalcss/#faq">FAQ for info on pricing</a>).</p>
<p>Simply install and activate the plugin (you will need to have Autoptimize up and running), enter your <a href="https://criticalcss.com/?aff=1" rel="nofollow ugc">https://criticalcss.com</a> API key and the plugin will automatically start work to create rules.</p>
<p>If you want to change settings or review the rules, you can find these by clicking the “critical css” tab on the Autoptimize plugin settings screen. There are “installation instructions” and more info in <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize-criticalcss/#faq">the FAQ</a>.</p>
