MySQL is an Amazing Database but one of its biggest grouse is that it cannot clean by itself. And as the time passes, the clutter in your wordpress table keeps on increasing, making your blog load slower. Therefore it is always good to optimize your database once in a while.
Optimize DB from Joost De Valk makes it very simple to optimize your database.
You simply have to install the plugin and activate it. Once activated, you can then go to Tools -> Optimize DB in your WordPress dashboard. It will explain you in detail, how much data the table contains and by how much can it be optimized.
Once you click “Optimize Now”, all your MySQL tables get optimized automatically .
How do you optimize your database, manually or through some plugin? If you use a Plugin, then which one do you use?
