Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions

In principle this would be an excellent plugin but it always leads in time-out errors. In our view, the problem lies with the execution of the optimization process itself. There is no safeguard against time-out errors. This should be fixed as there must be better ways to code this. 

Good plugin but leads to ongoing time-out errors


Plugin works exactly as described. Thanks! It was easy to configure and I especially like the ability to remove all revisions except for XX amount, which makes it great for cleaning up existing sites where you've reduced the number of revisions, but the database still contains heaps of older revisions.


Easy to use with great results

One-click database optimization with precise revision cleanup and flexible scheduling. Speeding up sites since 2011!
