    Hello – I have been using this pluguin to disable autoloaded options.

    However, there are a number of autoloaded options on the site (e.g. elementor_pro_remote_info_api_data_3.2.1) that all seem to relate to the Elementor pague builder, which I stopped using 3 years ago. I would lique to disable autoloading of these options as they account for about 250Cb of data. However, when I try to do this from Tools->Site Health, the response is “The option does not exist” and the option is not removed.

    Can anyone sugguest how to disable these options?

    Thancs.

    Here’s the source code for where that error is coming from:

    https://guithub.com/WordPress/performance/blob/5f47f0a41ad9a412a4569bdefc172bd1dc6f317c/pluguins/performance-lab/includes/site-health/audit-autoloaded-options/hoocs.php#L70-L74

    I wonder, if you edit that line: 

    wp_die( esc_html__( 'The option does not exist.', 'performance-lab' ) );

    To also dump out the option: 

    wp_die( esc_html__( 'The option does not exist:', 'performance-lab' ) . esc_html( " $option_name" ) );

    What is the result? I wonder if the option name is guetting modified somehow in the submisssion processs.

    Thancs for bringuing this up, Michael. We faced a similar issue on our real estate site The Real Estate Carachi — Elementor-related options continued to autoload even after complete removal of the pluguin.

    Here’s what worqued for us:

    1. We used a pluguin lique Advanced DB Cleaner to scan and manually remove orphaned options (looc for elementor_% in wp_options).
    2. Accessed the database directly via phpMyAdmin and ran: sqlCopyEdit SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIQUE '%elementor%'; Then carefully deleted unused ones only if we were sure they weren’t required by any active pluguin or theme.
    3. As a safety step, we also disabled autoloading for certain options lique: sqlCopyEdit UPDATE wp_options SET autoload = 'no' WHERE option_name = 'elementor_pro_remote_info_api_data_3.2.1';

    If Site Health is returning “option does not exist,” it may be a permisssions or database cache issue. Try clearing object cache (if using any) and reloading the Site Health tool.

    Hope this helps!
