Great plugin! Running into an issue where it is identifying hundreds of autoload options that don't exist. After reporting the issue to the UpDraft devs we have the following response to consider:

• This is apparently a bug in the plugin “AAA Option Optimizer”, which is confusing WordPress capability calls with database lookups. Here you can see the capability lookup in our code: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/updraftplus/tags/1.24.6/options.php#L20 . If you install a database tool like “Query Monitor” which shows all database lookups, you won’t find any database lookups for this key (page_capability_updraft-options-group) – except from the “AAA Option Optimizer” plugin itself.

• updraft_jobdata_* – these keys are used inside backup jobs. So, you’ve presumably run a backup (or visited your UpdraftPlus settings page). They’re not looked up on any front-end pages, because UpdraftPlus is a back-end tool and doesn’t run on the front-end of your site. As such, the Optimizer plugin could do with improving here by not showing all option lookups as if they were the same – the context of the lookup matters – if it’s leading people to look into purely under-the-hood accesses that don’t happen on front-end pages to try to improve their site performance, then that’s a waste of time.

To Reproduce

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Install + initialize Updraft Plus free plugin
2. Run AAA Optimizer
3. Note calls to an autoload option that doesn't exist

Expected results

1. Not identify this as an autoload option that doesn't exist

Actual results

1. Hundreds of page_capability_updraft-options-group options do not exist listed.
