Advanced Database Cleaner Premium

Advanced Database Cleaner Premium helps WordPress administrators inspect database entries and decide what to remove. It covers common cleanup candidates and can help identify orphaned data left by inactive or deleted extensions and themes. Removing unnecessary records can reduce database size and may improve query performance, though space estimates do not predict a specific speed gain.

Preview and filter database records

Review cleanup candidates before removal. The interface shows estimated space by item type and an overall estimate, while preview tables can be sorted by fields such as name, date, size, or website ID. For supported values, view serialized or JSON data in its original or formatted form.

Filters help narrow the records under review. Day-based retention focuses cleanup on older data. Premium also works with keeping a set number of items per parent, such as revisions per post, or globally.

Cleanup areas

Available cleanup includes old post and page revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts, pending, spam, and trashed comments, pingbacks, trackbacks, unused metadata and relationships, expired transients, duplicated metadata, and oEmbed caches. WooCommerce tools cover orphaned product variations, orphaned customer analytics, and expired customer sessions.

Premium adds cleanup for completed, failed, and canceled Action Scheduler actions, their logs, and orphan logs. Its advanced filters can narrow records by properties such as size, value, expiration, owner, site ID, or cron frequency, and identify items marked as duplicated, unused, large, expired, orphaned, or not yet scanned.

Check who owns database items

Local scanning with Remote SmartScan technology helps identify possible owners of tables, options, post meta, visitor meta, transients, and cron jobs. Cloud-enhanced ownership data can help find orphaned items associated with deleted extensions or themes. Results may display more than one possible owner and indicate whether an owner is active, inactive, or not installed. You can edit an ownership assignment if an item is misidentified and check remote scan credits.

Schedule maintenance and review changes

Create cleanup tasks for different routines, choose which items each task handles, and set how many days or items to retain. Tasks can execute once, hourly, twice daily, daily, weekly, or monthly, and can be paused or resumed. Scheduled database optimization and repair are also available. Premium automation includes per-task event logs showing what ran, when it ran, and how many items were processed.

Database analytics track total size and table counts over time, with daily and monthly charts, recorded measurements, and table-level changes in size and row count. Activity monitoring records plugin activations, deactivations, and uninstalls, along with theme switches and uninstalls, in a timeline.

Tools for WordPress administration

Other tools show current database size, provide a logging system and access to the WordPress debug log, and support multisite cleanup. Premium adds network-wide controls, including filtering records by site ID and running automation across the network. The interface is responsive and its tabs can be configured.

Get started

Install and activate the extension in WordPress, then open its interface to inspect records and configure filters or retention rules. Review cleanup candidates before removing data. Use the logging and debug-log tools when troubleshooting.
