What it does
A WordPress database collects clutter over time. Every edit can leave a revision, deleted posts sit in the trash, transients expire and stay behind, and plugins you removed long ago may still have tables and options lying around. This plugin gives you one place to review that leftover data and clear it out. It covers the common cleanup targets and also looks at database tables, autoloaded options and custom post types, so you can tidy more than just the obvious items.
Safety is a big part of how it works. The plugin shows which plugins or themes use specific tables, post types or options, which helps you avoid deleting something an active part of your site still depends on. Cleanups run in batches, and you can stop one partway through. For ongoing maintenance, a background sweeper called Nyao Sweeper can handle cleaning automatically, which suits developers managing several sites as well as owners who would rather not do it by hand.
Best for
- WordPress sites with years of revisions and leftover data
- Developers maintaining databases across several client sites
- Site owners who removed plugins and want leftovers gone
Features
Remove leftover content
Clear out post revisions, trashed posts, old comments and expired transients to free up space taken by data your site no longer uses.
Database table management
Identify unknown or unused tables in your database and remove them, reducing clutter left behind by plugins that are no longer installed.
Options and autoload tuning
Detect unused or poorly configured options and adjust their autoload settings so WordPress stops loading data it does not need on every request.
Custom post type cleanup
Find unnecessary custom post types in your installation and delete their entries, which is useful after removing plugins that created them.
Plugin and theme insights
See which plugins or themes use particular database tables, post types or options, so you can decide what is safe to remove.
Background sweeping
The Nyao Sweeper automates database cleaning in the background, so routine maintenance happens without you running each cleanup manually.
Batch cleanups you can stop
Cleanups delete several batches per request, and you can stop a cleanup in progress if you change your mind partway through.

Questions about Database Cleaner & Optimizer Pro
What kinds of data can this plugin remove?
It cleans post revisions, trashed posts, old comments and expired transients. It can also identify unused database tables, unused or poorly optimized options, and unnecessary custom post types, giving you a wider cleanup than removing revisions alone.
How do I know I won't delete something my site still needs?
The plugin shows which plugins or themes use specific tables, post types and options. That lets you check what belongs to an active plugin before removing anything, so you can focus on data left behind by tools you no longer use.
Can database cleaning run automatically?
Yes. The Nyao Sweeper handles background sweeping, cleaning your database automatically so you do not have to start each cleanup yourself. You can still run manual cleanups whenever you want to review things directly.
Does it help with autoloaded options?
It does. The plugin detects options that are unused or poorly optimized and lets you adjust their autoload settings, so WordPress is not loading unnecessary option data with every page request.
Is Database Cleaner & Optimizer Pro free?
The code of Database Cleaner & Optimizer Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
