WordPress Database Optimization: Speed and Cleanup

WordPress accumulates garbage in the database: post revisions, transient cache, plugin logs.

Cleanup via WP-CLI

wp post delete $(wp post list --post_type=revision --format=ids) --force
wp transient delete --expired
wp db optimize
✅ Keep 3–5 revisions per post for rollback capability without excess load.
