  WordPress Advanced Database Cleaner – Optimize, Clean & Speed Up Your Website

WordPress Advanced Database Cleaner is a powerful optimization plugin designed to keep your WordPress database fast, lightweight, and clutter-free. Over time, WordPress accumulates unnecessary data such as post revisions, auto drafts, trashed posts, spam comments, orphaned tables, and unused database entries — all of which can slow down your website.

This plugin allows you to safely scan, clean, and optimize your database with just a few clicks. You can remove unwanted data manually or schedule automatic cleanups to keep your site performing at its best without constant maintenance.

Advanced Database Cleaner gives you full control over your database, helping improve site speed, reduce database size, and enhance overall performance — especially for content-heavy, high-traffic, or SEO-focused websites.

✔ Clean post revisions, drafts, and trashed content
✔ Remove spam comments and unused database tables
✔ Optimize database tables for better performance
✔ Schedule automatic cleanups
✔ Safe, user-friendly, and developer-approved

This plugin is distributed under the GPL license, allowing full flexibility for use on personal, business, and client websites.
