Enhance your website’s performance by eliminating redundant data like ‘old revisions’, ‘spam comments’, and more, while optimizing the database.
Long-term WordPress users need to seriously consider database maintenance. Over time, your database likely accumulates unnecessary clutter, such as outdated revisions, unused post meta, and spam comments, leading to a slower, more cumbersome site. Regularly purging this data can significantly decrease your database size, boosting site efficiency. Moreover, this streamlining results in faster database backups, as the backup files become more compact.
