Optimization Module

Database Optimizer

Database Optimizer cleans and optimizes WordPress database tables by removing post revisions, spam comments, trashed items, expired transients, and running MySQL optimize commands. Over time WordPress databases accumulate unnecessary data that slows queries and inflates backups. This module provides one-click optimization that cleans data and optimizes table structures. Schedule automatic optimization to run regularly without manual intervention. The result is faster database queries and smaller backup files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cleaning and optimizing?

Cleaning removes unnecessary data like revisions. Optimizing runs MySQL commands that reorganize table storage for better performance.

Can optimization cause data loss?

Optimization removes only clearly unnecessary items like spam, trash, and expired transients. Real content is never touched.

Should I backup before optimizing?

While optimization is safe, having a recent backup before any database operation is always good practice.
