Overview
Over time, your website's database accumulates digital clutter such as post revisions, spam comments, and transient cache files that bloats file sizes and slows down server queries.
Optimisation Steps
- Clear Post Revisions: Limit or delete excessive historical drafts that pile up every time you edit a page or blog post.
- Purge Spam and Trash: Permanently empty deleted comment bins and spam folders to free up database table space.
- Optimise Tables: Run automated database repair and optimisation scripts monthly to defragment tables and accelerate data retrieval speeds.
