CodingBunny Database Cleaner


This plugin does exactly what it promises and helps keep the WordPress database clean without unnecessary complexity. The interface is straightforward, and the cleanup process is easy to understand even for non-technical users.



One suggestion for improvement: instead of adding a separate DB Cleaner item in the main WordPress admin menu, it would feel more natural and consistent with WordPress conventions to place it under Tools → DB Cleaner.



Overall, a useful plugin for routine database maintenance.


Simple and Useful Database Cleanup Plugin

Keep your WordPress database fast and lean by finding and removing orphaned data left behind by plugins, themes, and WordPress itself.

Unbloater is a simple and minimalist interface for cleaning up your WordPress admin dashboard and site code from unnecessary and not needed items. It mostly uses filters and actions to achieve fast and clean results. The settings screen is clean by itself, no additional styling or branding – that’s what the plugin stands for.
This plugin evolved out of my personal need to clean up sites for clients. The available options, especially for third party plugins, may therefore be biased. They might also be developer-focused in that the results work towards a cleaner site for non-technical users.
