Will this plugin delete important wp_options rows automatically?

No. Free focuses on audits and safe limits. Destructive cleanup is review-first. Always back up and test on staging before bulk deletes.

Pro is $10 per month and adds scheduled cleanups, WP-CLI, multisite support, object cache insights, and priority support.

What this product does

WordPress stores many settings in wp_options. Rows marked autoload = yes load on nearly every request. When abandoned plugins leave oversized options, autoload bloat raises memory use and TTFB.

This plugin gives you an operator-friendly console to find heavy autoload rows, expired transients, revision piles, and orphaned post/meta leftovers — then apply cleanup with clear limits so admin stays responsive.

Who it is for

Site owners noticing slow TTFB after years of plugin churn
Agencies cleaning client databases before a CWV / SEO engagement
Melbourne and New Mexico teams who want a freemium tool before hiring custom performance work

Free vs Pro (accurate matrix)

Autoload audit — list heavy autoload=yes options by size
Transient cleanup — clear expired transients safely
Revision limits — set sensible post revision caps
Orphan meta scan — find leftover meta without silent mass delete

WP-CLI commands — scriptable audits for agencies
Multisite support — network-aware tooling
Object cache insights — see what should stay out of autoload
Priority support — faster human reply from the studio

Install

Download the Free ZIP from /free-plugins/ (no account required).
In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Activate WP Database & Performance Optimizer.
Open the plugin menu in wp-admin and run an Autoload audit first.

Always take a full backup (files + database) before any cleanup that deletes rows.

Recommended safe workflow

Audit — export or screenshot the top autoload offenders.
Stage — clone the site; never first-run bulk deletes on production.
Disable abandoned prefixes — prefer autoload=no reviews over blind DELETE.
Clear expired transients — low risk when truly expired.
Cap revisions — reduce future bloat; pair with wp-config Tweaker if you also set WP_POST_REVISIONS.
Schedule (Pro) — only after the first manual pass looks clean.

What it does not do

It is not a full page cache / CDN — use hosting cache or a dedicated cache plugin alongside it.
It does not invent “instant 100 PageSpeed” guarantees.
It will not replace custom database engineering for complex multisite or commerce stacks — for that, hire Technical SEO & CWV or plugin engineering.

Can Free turn off autoload automatically?
