Key Benefits
A lean database is a fast database. Here's what you gain from regular cleanup.
Faster Queries
Less data means faster database lookups. Every query runs quicker when there's less clutter to search through. Your pages load faster, your admin feels snappier.
Smaller Backups
Why back up data you don't need? A clean database means significantly smaller backup files that upload faster and take up less storage space.
Cleaner Admin
Less clutter in your dashboard. When trash, spam, and drafts are cleared, your content lists are easier to navigate and manage.
Better Performance
Optimized tables run faster. Fragmented databases slow everything down. Regular optimization keeps your MySQL running at peak efficiency.

Transients are temporary cached data stored by WordPress and plugins. Expired transients are safe to delete—they'll be regenerated automatically when needed. ForgeCache only removes expired transients.
No. ForgeCache only removes drafts, revisions, spam, trash, and expired data. Your published posts, pages, products, and active content are never touched.
Yes. ForgeCache Premium includes scheduled cleanup that runs daily, weekly, or monthly. Set it once and your database stays optimized automatically.
