360 Orbit Database Cleaner

WordPress loads every option marked as “autoloaded” into memory on every single page request. Over the years, plugins leave large or forgotten options behind, and every page gets a little slower and uses more memory. Database Cleaner makes this visible and lets you do something about it, without guessing.

• Autoload analysis: the total size of everything that loads on every request, compared with the warning threshold of WordPress Site Health, and the 50 largest options with their size, the plugin they probably belong to and a risk level.
• Stop options from loading automatically: one option at a time, with a confirmation. Every change is saved first and can be undone.
• Expired transients: temporary cached values that WordPress should have removed. Optionally all transients, including the ones that are still valid.
• Old revisions: removes revisions older than the number of days you choose, but always keeps the newest ones of every post.
• Preview first: every clean-up shows how many entries it would remove before anything is deleted, and the number is exactly what gets deleted.
• History of the last actions right in the admin area.

WordPress core options can never be changed. Transients are cleaned up, not switched.

Free vs. Pro

The free version fully covers the autoload analysis, changing single options with undo, and the clean-up of transients and revisions.

• Change the autoload of several options at once, with a full undo list.
• Autoload size history and a warning threshold of your own.
• Clean up orphaned post meta and term meta.
• Clean up Action Scheduler logs.
• Optimize database tables.
• Scheduled clean-ups.
• WP-CLI commands.
• Automatic update notifications directly in the WordPress admin area.
