Over time, your WordPress database accumulates a massive amount of unnecessary data—like post revisions, auto-drafts, orphaned metadata, and expired transients. This bloat slows down your site and increases your backup sizes.

Dejunk DB is a lightweight, intuitive, and highly secure tool designed to clean up this orphaned and duplicated data, optimizing your database for peak performance.

Before making any changes, Dejunk DB provides a built-in Backup Engine so you can safely create a snapshot of your database and download it locally.

???? Key Features

  • Built-In Database Backups: Create, download, and manage secure .sql backups of your database directly from the plugin dashboard before you clean.
  • Preview Before Dejunking: View the exact items (up to 500 records) that are flagged for deletion in a clean, AJAX-powered modal so you know exactly what is being removed.
  • Post Data Cleanup: Safely remove Post Revisions, Auto Drafts, Trashed Posts, and Orphaned Post Meta.
  • Comment Cleanup: Quickly delete Unapproved Comments.
  • User & Term Cleanup: Clear out Orphaned User Meta and Orphaned Term Relationships.
  • Options Cleanup: Flush stale and expired Transient Options (_transient_ and _site_transient_) that bloat the wp_options table.
  • Table Optimization: Run standard MySQL OPTIMIZE TABLE commands on all your WordPress tables with a single click.
  • Global “Dejunk Everything” Switch: A master switch to clean up all identified junk sections instantly.
  • Clean Uninstall: When you uninstall Dejunk DB, it automatically cleans up its transients and securely deletes all backup files it created, leaving zero footprint.

Note: Any dejunking done to your database is irreversible. Please always utilize the built-in backup tool before running a cleanup.
