Thanks for the review, and glad to hear your site is loading faster after a cleanup. The database side of things is where WP-Optimize started all those years ago, so it’s always nice to hear it’s still pulling its weight.
One quick tip: if you head into WP-Optimize > Database > Settings, you can schedule the cleanups to run automatically on whatever cadence suits your site, so the junk never really gets a chance to build up.
Something a lot of our long-time users don’t realize: WP-Optimize has grown well beyond database cleanup over the years. It’s now a full performance suite, and all of it is in the free plugin you already have installed. Worth a look if you want to squeeze even more speed out of your site:
- Page caching to serve pages without hitting PHP or the database on every request
- Image compression (including WebP) to shrink one of the biggest sources of page weight
- Minification of CSS and JavaScript, with options to defer and async scripts
- Preloading so your cache is warm before visitors arrive
Pair those with the database work you’re already doing and you’ll likely see another jump in load times. Thanks again from the team.
