WordPress Site Bloat Removal

Unused plugins, orphaned media, thousands of post revisions, accumulated transients, and database overhead — audited and safely removed to reduce site weight and improve performance.

What Counts as Site Bloat

Site bloat accumulates silently. Every deactivated but not deleted plugin, every image upload that replaced an older one, every page draft and revision — it all stays in the database and file system, slowing down backups, database queries, and sometimes the site itself.

  • Deactivated plugins still consuming resources
  • Orphaned media files with no post attachment
  • Post revisions accumulating into hundreds per post
  • Expired and orphaned transients in wp_options
  • Spam comments consuming database space
  • Old theme files from previously installed themes

Safe Removal Process

Nothing is deleted without verification. I audit each category, confirm what's safe to remove, create a backup, then clean. The result is a leaner site with a smaller database, faster backups, and reduced hosting footprint.

Limit revisions going forward: As part of the service, I configure WordPress to limit future revisions automatically — so the bloat doesn't accumulate again.
