Database Cleanup

What it does

Database Cleanup removes leftover WordPress data that grows over time and can optionally optimize tables:

  • Post revisions
  • Auto-drafts
  • Trash
  • Spam comments
  • Expired transients
  • Table optimize
  • Optional weekly automatic runs
  • Live counts and a progress modal while cleaning

Watch the walkthrough

Starts at 24:24 in the Divi Nitro 5.0 walkthrough.

Where to find it

Divi Engine → Nitro Settings → Database Cleanup

How to use

  1. Review the live counts.
  2. Choose what to clean.
  3. Run cleanup and wait for the progress modal to finish.
  4. Optionally enable weekly runs on production after you are happy with the results.
warning

Take a backup before the first cleanup on a production site. Do not run aggressive database cleaners in Nitro and WP-Optimize on overlapping schedules.
