What It Does

Clean expired transients from your options table. The original and best!

Transient housekeeping was added to the core of WordPress after version 5.8. However, I have decided to open up this plugin to all versions to allow for manual transient cleaning. Longer term I am working on a new version of the plugin, designed specifically for all WordPress releases.

Expired transients can bloat your database. This plugin allows you to clean them up easily, ensuring a smaller options table and improved performance.

The settings screen allows you to schedule cleaning and perform ad-hoc runs. You can also optimize the options table for better performance.

A lite mode is available for improved admin performance, especially in multi-site setups.
