great plugin, had a large database it cleaned in 2 clicks

WP-Sweep is a simple yet powerful plugin that helps keep your WordPress site running smoothly. It cleans up unnecessary data like post revisions, trashed posts, spam comments, unused terms, and more — all using native WordPress functions, which makes it safer than many alternatives. We’ve used WP-Sweep on multiple websites and it’s never caused any issues. It’s lightweight, user-friendly, and does exactly what it promises. The interface is clear and makes it easy to choose what to clean. Highly recommended for anyone looking to optimize their WordPress database without the risk of breaking anything.
