Kakapo Performance

Clean up the database

WordPress collects revisions, you set the limit.

WordPress creates revisions for every post, and they pile up. The kakapo limits them to a number you set. A schedule tidies up automatically via WP-Cron and optimises the tables.

FAQ about database cleanup

Will I lose old versions of my posts?
Everything above the configured number, yes — so choose it so that you keep enough history. The published version is never affected.
What does optimizing tables mean?
The database cleans up gaps left behind by deleted rows and keeps its tables compact.
What if WP-Cron doesn't run on my site?
Then the schedule won't take effect either. Under Cron & Heartbeat you can hand off WP-Cron and have the tasks started by a real system cron.
