If you are looking for the best database cleaner for WordPress, this is it! Database Cleaner will clean and optimize your database thoroughly, swiftly, through an easy or expert mode, depending on your expertise. Database Cleaner also works on huge databases, which is not the case of any other plugin!

Database Cleaner was build based on the success of this brother Media Cleaner, and years of experiences and issues using the other database cleaners. We felt like it was time for a new one, well-made and powerful. Today, it definitely is!

The new Database Cleaner King is here

This is by far the nicest plugin from the start that I used since a long time. I was using the other famous database cleaner plugin before this one, and it wasn’t updated since long time and it felt less relevant years after years.

Absolutely fabulous

The interface immediately provides in depth information about the status of the database. Fabulous. Cleaning the awful lot of “Orphaned Post Meta” that I mentioned before, took quite a while, but it shows a percentage progress. And even more important the plugin does this in small chunks to avoid time-out problems at the hosting server.

Finally a complete plugin

I already use the plugin on multiple site and are very satisfied with the functionality and UX, I hope in a constant development, the plugin is really complete and from valuable information on the status of the database.

Resolved my WooCommerce Issue

I tried to install WooCommerce onto my site and instantly experienced issues. My site ran incredibly slow and eventually became inoperable. I removed the plug-in using FTP access but anytime I tried to navigate to my shop page, the site would automatically redirect to my main homepage. After using Database Cleaner once, it resolved the issue and the site works as normal.
