The same site three years later can exceed a gigabyte without having published much at all. It\u2019s not the content: it\u2019s what accumulates around it.<\/p>\n<h3>Revisions<\/h3>\n<p>Every time you save a post, WordPress creates a full copy. An article edited twenty times means twenty copies of the entire text, indexed and taking up space. By default there is no limit: they are all saved, forever.<\/p>\n<h3>Expired transients<\/h3>\n<p>These are temporary caches that plugins store in the options table. They have an expiration date, but <strong>WordPress does not delete them when they expire<\/strong>: it just ignores them. A site with several active plugins accumulates thousands of dead rows that are read on every load.<\/p>\n<h3>Orphaned metadata<\/h3>\n<p>When you delete a post or product, its metadata should go with it. Often that doesn\u2019t happen. And when you uninstall a plugin, almost none of them clean up what they left behind: their options, metadata, and tables remain there years later, pointing to content that no longer exists.<\/p>\n<h3>What WooCommerce adds<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a store, add expired customer sessions, download logs, the full Action Scheduler history \u2014which in an active store can be hundreds of thousands of rows\u2014 and old order keys.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sintomas\">How to tell if it\u2019s happening to you<\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be technical. These are the signs, from the most obvious to the most silent:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The WordPress dashboard takes a long time to load<\/strong> even though the public site works fine. It\u2019s the clearest sign: the admin queries the database without cache.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backups take longer and longer<\/strong> and occupy more space than your content justifies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The internal search slows down<\/strong> or returns strange results from deleted content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your hosting warns you about database usage<\/strong> or CPU consumption in queries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The EHERO Cleaner dashboard gives you the exact data as soon as you install it: the real database size and how many items there are of each type, before touching anything.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"que-borrar\">What can be deleted safely and what cannot<\/h2>\n<p>This is the important part, and the reason many people never clean up: the fear of breaking something. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ehero-grid\">\n<div class=\"ehero-card\">\n<h3>\u2705 Safe, always<\/h3>\n<p>Expired transients, automatic drafts, comments marked as spam, posts already in the trash, and metadata pointing to non-existent content. None of this is part of your site: it\u2019s either already discarded or already broken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ehero-card\">\n<h3>\u26a0\ufe0f Use judgment<\/h3>\n<p>All transients \u2014the active ones will regenerate, but the first load will be a bit slower\u2014 and old revisions, where it\u2019s better to decide how many to keep per post instead of deleting them all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ehero-card\">\n<h3>\ud83d\udeab Never<\/h3>\n<p>Your published content, orders, customers, and active plugin data. EHERO Cleaner does not touch any of this: there is no tool that allows it, not even by mistake.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Each tool shows its risk level on the card itself, tells you how many items it will affect <em>before<\/em> running, and asks for confirmation for anything destructive. And the whole process is local: nothing is sent to any external server.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ehero-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e9miay56dfh.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ehero-cleaner-herramientas-avanzadas.jpg?strip=all&w=1920\" alt=\"Advanced tools to optimize the WordPress database by filters\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>The advanced tools let you delete by filters, but always showing how many items there are first.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"herramientas\">The tools, one by one<\/h2>\n<p>More than twenty-five, grouped by what they solve.

That\u2019s why scheduled cleaning is what really changes things: choose a frequency \u2014twice a day, daily, or weekly\u2014 and mark which tools you want to run automatically.<\/p>\n<p>The sensible thing is to schedule only the ones marked as safe and run the rest manually when needed. That way, maintenance becomes something that happens without anyone having to remember it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ehero-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e9miay56dfh.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ehero-cleaner-limpieza-programada.jpg?strip=all&w=1920\" alt=\"Scheduled cleaning settings to optimize the WordPress database\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Frequency, included tools, and how many revisions to keep per post.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"instalar\">How to install it<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"ehero-steps\">\n<li><strong>From your WordPress<\/strong>\n<p>Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 search for \u201cEHERO Cleaner\u201d \u2192 Install \u2192 Activate.

What\u2019s the catch?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no catch. It\u2019s GPLv2, there is no license check, and it has all the features. We keep it because people who install it and find it useful end up seeing us as a trustworthy place to buy a paid plugin. That\u2019s the whole model.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I lose content?<\/h3>\n<p>No, if you stick to what the tool marks as safe: that only touches data that is already discarded, already expired, or structurally broken. Even so, the golden rule with any database cleanup is to have a recent backup. Make one.<\/p>\n<h3>How much will I recover?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on how old the site is and how many plugins you\u2019ve tried. On three- or four-year-old sites with several installed and uninstalled plugins, it\u2019s common to remove between 20% and 60% of the database size. The dashboard tells you before and after.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it useful if I don\u2019t have a store?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Revisions, transients, and orphaned metadata are accumulated by any WordPress site. The WooCommerce tools simply won\u2019t appear.<\/p>\n<h3>And if I uninstall a plugin, does it leave leftovers?<\/h3>\n<p>Most do, and that\u2019s why the uninstalled plugin metadata detector exists: it shows you which metadata prefixes are still in your database, grouped by the plugin that created them, so you can decide.<\/p>\n<h3>How often should I clean?<\/h3>\n<p>Weekly for the safe items is more than enough. What makes no sense is cleaning manually every six months: the junk comes back, and between cleanups the site runs slowly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"relacionados\">If this helped, also check this out<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/consultoriaehero.com\/en\/product\/ehero-cleaner-clean-the-wordpress-database-in-one-click\/\">Full details of EHERO Cleaner<\/a> \u2014 the breakdown of the more than 25 tools and the requirements.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/consultoriaehero.com\/en\/product\/ehero-smart-search-ai-search-for-woocommerce-that-understands-your-customers\/\">EHERO Smart Search<\/a> \u2014 when what\u2019s slow is not the database but the store search.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/consultoriaehero.com\/en\/product-category\/woocommerce-plugins\/\">All plugins for WooCommerce<\/a> \u2014 the rest of the catalog, which is paid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"ehero-cta\">\n<h2>Optimizing the WordPress database should not cost money<\/h2>\n<p>More than twenty-five tools, scheduled cleaning, and the plugin leftovers detector.
