Overview
Over time a WordPress database fills up with leftovers: old post revisions, auto-drafts, trashed items, spam comments, transient options and overhead in the tables. This extra data takes up space and adds work for the server. The plugin shows you what has piled up and lets you remove it from a single interface, so routine maintenance does not call for manual database work.
You decide which kinds of data to clean, so content you want to keep stays untouched. Cleanup can run on a schedule you set, and a report afterward summarizes how much data was removed. The plugin is built to use few server resources, and it is meant for sites of any size, from a small blog to a larger business site run by an administrator or developer.
Features
- One-click cleanup: Remove post revisions, drafts, spam comments and other unneeded data in a few clicks to free up space in your WordPress database.
- Database table optimization: Optimize your database tables to cut overhead and help queries run more efficiently on the server.
- Selective data removal: Pick exactly which types of data to clean, so you keep control over maintenance and avoid touching content you want to keep.
- Scheduled cleanup tasks: Set up customizable schedules so routine maintenance runs automatically and you do not have to start each cleanup by hand.
- Detailed cleanup reports: Get a summary after each cleanup showing how much data was removed, so you can see what the run actually did.
- Safeguards against data loss: Built-in safeguards are meant to prevent accidental deletion, which helps keep your important information intact during cleanup.
- Clears trash and auto-drafts: Delete outdated revisions, auto-drafts, trashed items and spam comments from one place instead of using several separate tools.
- Light on server resources: The plugin is designed to have minimal impact on server resources, which makes it suitable for websites of different sizes.
Best for
- Site owners who want routine database maintenance
- Developers and administrators managing several WordPress sites
- Business sites with many revisions and spam comments
