Yearly Database cleanup
Database growth reasons: unused data, bugs, lingering extensions, log clean-ups, optimization.
Some database tables will often grow quickly because:
- Old data is being stored although not used anymore
- Website has a bug, preventing the database table from being emptied.
- Data is still stored from removed extensions
- Logs clean-ups (server and database) ie: var logs.
Speed up your website by reducing the size of the backup, and the time spent to generate a backup, therefore reducing the CPU and power usage on the server.
