Optimization Module

Revisions Control

Revisions Control lets you limit how many post revisions WordPress keeps or disable them entirely. WordPress stores every save as a revision, bloating databases over time. Set a maximum number like 5 or 10 revisions, or disable completely if you do not need revision history. The module also provides tools to clean up existing excess revisions.
