Speed Optimizer is not Optimizing itself

Hi, I’ve been a long-time user of SiteGround and both of your plugins. There is no way you can develop a speed optimization and security plugin and then not optimize the codebase and be this sloppy. I have 118 entries in the “wp_options” table, and 109 have autoload set to yes.

My guess is that many of them are old entries from past versions of the plugin and are not needed anymore. The majority of the entries may not need autoload. Do you really need to autoload the version, the notification email, a lot of configuration settings, etc.? Isn’t it possible to group many of these entries into one or two JSON fields? Is it too hard to clean up old entries when upgrading versions or on uninstall?

This is my current list of entries:

The first 8 do not autoload, everything else autoloads, its very little in terms of size but its just unneeded, does not show consideration to users installations and it’s very easy to fix on your side.

Could you please point out in the list old unneeded entries and which ones should really autoload? Thanks
