Speed and cleanup plugins compared
Disable Bloat vs Asset CleanUp
Asset CleanUp trims what loads on your storefront. Disable Bloat goes further for WooCommerce stores: it switches off what slows down your admin, and in our test made the Orders screen 41% faster with its default settings.
The short answer
For WooCommerce stores, Disable Bloat is the one built for you: a faster, cleaner admin with simple on/off switches, plus storefront cleanup, from $29 a year. Asset CleanUp is a good companion if you also want to fine-tune CSS and JavaScript page by page.
