Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Over time, your WordPress database accumulates orphaned metadata, expired transients, auto-drafts, and post revisions that slow down server response times and bloat your backups. DWV Database Bloat Cleaner is a lightweight, strictly backend utility designed to safely identify and remove this digital garbage without slowing down your site.

Unlike bulky optimization suites that load unnecessary scripts on your frontend, this tool focuses on doing one thing well: it cleans your SQL tables safely using WordPress-native queries and secure AJAX execution.

Features

  • Post Revisions Cleanup: Remove thousands of old post revisions in one click.
  • Auto-Draft Removal: Clear abandoned drafts cluttering the wp_posts table.
  • Expired Transients Sweep: Delete temporary cached data that failed to clear itself from the wp_options table.
  • Orphaned Meta Deletion: Safely remove abandoned rows in wp_postmeta left behind when posts are deleted.
  • Dry-Run Dashboard: Always see exactly what will be deleted before you execute the cleanup.
