How often should I optimize my WordPress database?

It depends on how frequently you update your website. If you add or change content regularly, for example, posting new blog articles, managing WooCommerce orders, or handling many comments, optimizing your database once a week is a good practice. For less active sites, once a month may be enough.

How can I clean up my WordPress database automatically?

WP-Optimize allows you to schedule automatic cleanups for your WordPress database, ensuring it stays optimized without any manual intervention. You can set it to clean up unnecessary data like post revisions and spam comments on a daily, weekly, or custom schedule.

Can I choose what to clean up in my WordPress database?

Yes! WP-Optimize gives you full control over what to clean up in your database. You can select specific items like post revisions, spam comments, and expired transients to remove. This way, you can customize the optimization process to fit your needs.

Does WP-Optimize support multisite networks?

Yes, WP-Optimize fully supports WordPress multisite networks. You can optimize the databases of all sites in your network and keep them running smoothly with just one plugin.

Will WP-Optimize clean my WordPress database without affecting my content?

Absolutely! WP-Optimize only removes unnecessary data (such as revisions, drafts, and spam comments) and optimizes database tables without affecting your actual content or settings. Your posts, pages, and media will remain intact.

Can I restore my WordPress database after optimizing it?

Yes, but you can only restore your database after optimizing if you have a backup. WP-Optimize itself does not create backups before running optimizations, so it’s strongly recommended to back up your database first. That way, if you ever need to undo changes, you can quickly restore it.
