How to cleanup wordpress properly

[totalwebdesign]

Hello

I have a question about cleaning up wordpress

Actually my client’s website run about 600 users with bunch of plugins and it become slower and slower. I have installed on it estore, emember, pdf stamper + an intranet plugin for private clients.

I want to use wp clean up plugin and smart cleanup tools to clean WP and remove Transient

It’s maybe a silly question but before i proceed, do you think it safe to clean up using these tools? What’s your point of view about that? No problem with pdf already stamped?

Thank You

Deactivating and then deleting any plugin from the WP –> Plugins menu is sufficient. If one of these plugins is PDF Stamper, you should first deactivate the license key, before deactivating the plugin; otherwise, you will be unable to reactivate it on another site.

The tools you mentioned are used to optimize the WordPress database and are akin to disk defragmentation tools. For 97% of WordPress sites, such tools are unnecessary, and IMHO, cater to the obsessive compulsive among us.

Once a PDF file has been stamped, that’s it.

Thank you for your prompt reply but I do not believe you have understood my

question. It may be because of the way I worded it (please excuse my

English). I was asking if you thought it was safe to use wp cleanup tool.

The reason I want to do so is to speed-up a website that is becoming more

and more slow due to number of plugins I have installed. My intention was

not to deactivate and cancel the plugins. I was just worried that the

clean-up may affect the plugins and was seeking your advice on that point.

The cleanup tool will only make the database “smaller,” not “faster.” The cleanup tool only affects fragmentation within the database. Yes, it is “safe” to use such a tool, but you will be disappointed by the result.

If you have a lot of plugins WordPress will slow down, due to the sheer number and complexity of active plugins you’ve installed; but not because of database fragmentation.

What you *can* do, to improve performance of your site; if you are not doing so already, is use a caching plugin. Caching plugins help, by buffering copies of pages that do not change very often. Doing this speeds up your site, because WordPress does not have to repetitiously execute the same code, over and over again, whenever certain pages are requested.

And then of course, is the matter of what kind of hosting package you have. Hosting packages are like cars; you can’t win the Monaco Grand Prix, using a jalopy.
