What Gets Cleaned

Remove unnecessary data that slows down your database queries and bloats your backups.

Post Revisions

Delete old versions of posts that accumulate over time and bloat your database.

Auto-Drafts

Remove unused auto-saved content that WordPress creates silently in the background.

Trashed Posts

Permanently delete items sitting in the trash that you no longer need.

Spam Comments

Bulk remove spam comments that clog your database and slow down queries.

Transients

Clear expired transient data that should have been deleted automatically.

Orphaned Meta

Remove orphaned post and comment meta that references deleted content.

Key Benefits

A lean database is a fast database. Here's what you gain from regular cleanup.

Faster Queries

Less data means faster database lookups. Every query runs quicker when there's less clutter to search through. Your pages load faster, your admin feels snappier.

Smaller Backups

Why back up data you don't need? A clean database means significantly smaller backup files that upload faster and take up less storage space.

Cleaner Admin

Less clutter in your dashboard. When trash, spam, and drafts are cleared, your content lists are easier to navigate and manage.

Better Performance

Optimized tables run faster. Fragmented databases slow everything down. Regular optimization keeps your MySQL running at peak efficiency.

How It Works

Database cleanup is simple, safe, and can be fully automated.

1

One-Click Cleanup

Run cleanup manually anytime from the ForgeCache dashboard. See exactly what will be deleted before confirming.

2

Scheduled Cleanup

Automate weekly or monthly maintenance. Set it once and forget it - we handle the rest automatically.

Safe Defaults

We won't delete anything you need. Conservative defaults protect your content while removing genuine bloat.

Table Optimization

Beyond removing bloat, ForgeCache can optimize your database tables to reclaim disk space and improve query performance.

  • OPTIMIZE TABLE command for all WordPress tables
  • Reclaim disk space from fragmented tables
  • Safe for production sites - non-blocking operation
  • Schedule optimization alongside cleanup

Database Cleanup Questions

Yes, for most sites. Post revisions are backup copies of your content. If you don't need to restore older versions, deleting them is safe and can free up significant database space. ForgeCache keeps a configurable number of recent revisions.

Transients are temporary cached data stored by WordPress and plugins. Expired transients are safe to delete—they'll be regenerated automatically when needed. ForgeCache only removes expired transients.

No. ForgeCache only removes drafts, revisions, spam, trash, and expired data. Your published posts, pages, products, and active content are never touched.

Yes. ForgeCache Premium includes scheduled cleanup that runs daily, weekly, or monthly. Set it once and your database stays optimized automatically.
