### Why Clean and Optimize Your WordPress Database?

Over time, every active WordPress and WooCommerce site accumulates gigabytes of 
unseen bloat:
 * **Old Post Revisions & Auto-Drafts** accumulating over years of
editing. * **Orphaned Metadata** left behind by uninstalled plugins and deleted 
posts, users, or terms. * **Massive Autoloaded Options** in `wp_options` that load
on every single page view, slowing down TTFB and PHP memory. * **Bloated WooCommerce
Action Scheduler Tables** with hundreds of thousands of completed or failed task
logs. * **Expired Transient Caches & Spam Comments** creating database query bottlenecks.

This clutter increases database file size, slows down WP-Admin queries, causes slow
WooCommerce checkouts, and increases server backup time.

**Nexura Database Cleaner** follows a strict safety principle: **Scan first. Preview
what was found. Clean only what you approve.**

### Key Features at a Glance

 * **Database Health Audit & Transparent Score**: Instant 0–100 health assessment
   with fully transparent calculation deductions—never arbitrary or misleading.
 * **Safe Dry Run & Preview Mode**: Inspect matched records and estimated disk space
   before deleting a single row.
 * **Risk Level Classification**: Every item is transparently classified by risk(
   Safe, Low Risk, Medium Risk, High Risk).
 * **Batch Processing Engine**: Removes clutter in asynchronous, controlled AJAX
   batches to prevent server timeouts and 504 gateway errors.
 * **Pre-Cleanup Backup Safety Prompt**: Displays safety recommendations before 
   bulk deletion operations.
 * **Full Audit Trail & History**: Complete records of every cleanup operation, 
   including rows removed, bytes reclaimed, and execution timestamps.
 * **Automated Scheduled Maintenance**: Set recurring background cleanups (Daily,
   Weekly, or Monthly) via WordPress Cron for hands-free optimization.
 * **InnoDB Storage Awareness**: Correctly distinguishes normal 2 MB MySQL InnoDB
   extent reservations from true table fragmentation.
 * **Multisite Compatible**: Safely distinguishes network-wide tables and subsite
   prefixes.

## FAQ

### How does database cleanup speed up my WordPress website?

Every request WordPress processes requires querying the database. When tables are
bloated with hundreds of thousands of revisions, expired transients, and huge autoloaded
options, MySQL takes longer to execute queries and uses more RAM. Cleaning bloat
and defragmenting tables reduces query execution times, lowers server response time(
TTFB), and speeds up your entire website.

### How do I clean WooCommerce Action Scheduler tables safely?

Under the WooCommerce module in Nexura Database Cleaner, you can safely purge completed
actions older than 30 days, failed actions, canceled actions, and orphaned action
logs. This frees up massive space in `wp_actionscheduler_actions` and `wp_actionscheduler_logs`
without interrupting any running store orders or pending background tasks.

### How to reduce autoload options size in WordPress (wp_options)?

WordPress loads every option marked with `autoload = yes` into PHP memory on every
single page load. If total autoloaded size exceeds 800 KB, page load times increase.
Nexura monitors your autoload memory, identifies the heaviest individual options,
and lets you toggle autoload off with one click without writing SQL queries.

### Why does my InnoDB table still show 2 MB under Free Overhead after optimizing?

This is standard MySQL and MariaDB engine behavior. In InnoDB with `innodb_file_per_table`,
MySQL allocates storage in fixed-size chunks called “extents” (typically 2 MB). 
Even after an `OPTIMIZE TABLE` operation rebuilds the table to its smallest possible
footprint, MySQL maintains a 2 MB extent reserve for future write operations. This
2 MB is not fragmentation—it is normal baseline operating space. Our plugin intelligently
recognizes this and displays `Optimal (2 MB reserve)` instead of an alarming warning.

### What is a Dry Run and why is it recommended?

A Dry Run inspects and counts the exact rows matching your cleanup criteria without
executing any `DELETE` query. It allows you to verify what will be cleaned and how
much space will be reclaimed before making permanent changes.

### Does the plugin delete database data automatically upon activation?

No. The plugin will never delete any data automatically upon activation or when 
running a scan. You retain complete control over what to clean, when to clean, and
whether to run a safe Dry Run first.

### Will deleting post revisions or auto-drafts break my published posts?

No. Revisions and auto-drafts are historical backups of earlier drafts. Cleaning
them does not modify or delete your currently published posts, pages, or custom 
post types.

### Does the plugin create a backup before cleanup?

In the Free version, the plugin presents a pre-cleanup backup safety recommendation
dialog reminding you to create a backup before bulk operations. In the **Pro version**,
1-click automatic SQL table export is included directly inside the plugin.

### Why should I upgrade to Nexura Database Cleaner & Optimizer Pro?

Upgrading to **Pro** unlocks:
 1. Built-in signature library to identify and remove
leftover tables and options from uninstalled plugins. 2. Advanced WooCommerce cleaners(
customer sessions, orphaned variations, order items & metadata, webhooks). 3. 1-
click automatic SQL table backup before cleaning. 4. Granular scheduled cleanup 
intervals with automated email reports. 5. WordPress Multisite network-wide cleanup
for super-admins. [View Pro Pricing & Plans](https://nexurasecurity.com/database-cleaner-optimizer/#pricing).

### Is Nexura Database Cleaner open source and hosted on GitHub?

Yes! You can view the code, contribute, or track releases on our [official GitHub repository](https://github.com/nexurasecurity/nexura-database-cleaner).
