Unlock the Secrets of Speed: A Deep Dive into Boosting Your WordPress Website’s Performance
5. Clean your database and media library regularly
If you’ve been running your WordPress site for a while, chances are you’ve accumulated content and files you no longer need, like old drafts, trashed posts, or spam comments.
Reducing this clutter from your database can improve your website speed. Plugins such as WP Sweep and WP-Optimize can quicken this process. They will comb through your database to find files and content you can delete.
You may also have unused images in your media library, and deleting them can help reduce clutter and improve performance. In that case, something like the Media Cleaner plugin can come in handy.
