Secure Your WordPress Site Task 10: Optimize Your SQL Database

November 30, 2019 by Ali Leave a Comment

Your database contains all of your content (pages, posts, comments, form-entries, etc.,) and settings (for themes, plugins, etc.,) in the form of a table. Any updated or deleted content and setting changes will stick around and add bloat to your database, slowing down your site.
