What It Does

SweepPress is an easy-to-use WordPress plugin built around 52 different Sweepers for database cleanup, with the Pro version offering 57. It supports WP-CLI and WP REST API for performing cleanup operations. The plugin includes a powerful management panel for the WordPress Options database table.

The Options database table holds settings for WordPress Core, plugins, and themes, which can grow significantly. SweepPress helps manage transient cache records and provides a management panel to view and delete records in the Options table.

Options deletion is not automatic, requiring user confirmation. The plugin also supports various sweeping methods, including Auto Sweep, Quick Sweep, Full Sweep, CLI Sweep, and REST API Sweep, all using optimized SQL queries for efficient data removal.

SweepPress Pro includes advanced features such as backup management, tracking metadata usage, and creating custom background sweeper jobs. It also provides support for cleaning ActionScheduler tables used by various plugins.
