The softly whispered legend of the Cleanup Utility tool

[Jens Kirk]

Hello!

My wp_postmeta table is over 70.000 lines on a relatively small website, 1000< events.

While browsing your forum, there seems to be other users worried about this, especially when committing to Events Calendar long term.

My questions are:

1. What are your “best practice” advice concerning maintenance and fast website output.
2. Is the Cleanup Utility just a dream or do you plan to materialize anything similar?

thanks 🙂

Hi Jens!

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I am happy to assist you 🙂

First off, bear in mind that the wp_postmeta table is used for all other posts in your WordPress installation and not only for our plugins. So it really depends on the amount of posts and the metadata that each post saves.

We have a good article about Performance Considerations you should read that gives an insight on this matter and most likely will answer your questions.

In addition, below I’ve gathered a couple of interesting links regarding caching and some useful tools for developers.

• Caching Basics
• Caching Month View Transients
• Some of our favorite plugins for developers

I hope it helps and feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Best!
Victor.
