How do I optimize my WordPress database for speed?

If your WordPress database is cluttered with junk, you can optimise it using the following steps for a better speed: 1. Backup Your Site: Before making any database changes, use a plugin to create a full site backup. This ensures you can restore your site if anything goes wrong. 2. Install a Database Optimization Plugin: Use trusted plugins like WP-Optimize, Advanced Database Cleaner. 3. Clean Unnecessary Date: Use the plugin to clean unnecessary data like old post revisions, trashed/unapproved/spam comments, expired transients, auto drafts, etc. 4. Optimize Database Tables: Use the plugin to optimize or defragment tables. This helps in reducing overhead and speeds up queries. 5. Schedule Cleanups: Automate cleanups weekly or monthly using these plugins to save time. To avoid this hassle, use a tool like Fibr. You can detect when your database becomes a performance issue with Fibr's free CRO audit and alert you before visitors notice.
