Unlike aggressive “optimizer” plugins, Database Inspector focuses on **visibility first**, showing you where bloat exists before offering optional, manual cleanup actions. ### Key features: * Database health gauge with clear visual feedback * View total database size (when supported by hosting) * Inspect autoloaded options that load on every page * Identify expired and unused transients * Detect post revisions, auto-drafts, spam, and trash * Find orphaned post meta and comment meta * Flush external object cache (when enabled) * Optional read-only mode via filter for audit-only environments * Multisite-aware and shared-host safe * No frontend impact — admin-only * Contextual source identification for autoloaded options All cleanup actions require explicit confirmation and are protected by nonces and capability checks. ### Developer Notes This plugin follows coding standards and avoids aggressive optimization tactics. It is intended as a transparent inspection and maintenance tool, not an automatic optimizer. Filters and actions are provided for extensibility. ## Screenshots * [[ * Database health gauge and overview ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Navigate to **Tools DB Inspector** to view database statistics. ## FAQ ### Is this plugin safe to use? Yes. All cleanup actions are manual, protected, and clearly labeled. No background jobs or automatic deletions are performed. ### Does this work on shared hosting? Yes. If database size information is restricted by your host, the plugin degrades gracefully without errors. ### Does this support multisite? Yes. Multisite installations are supported, including site transients and object cache detection. ### Does this affect frontend performance? No. The plugin loads only in the admin area. ### Can I disable cleanup actions? Yes. Developers can enable read-only mode using the `wpdi_read_only` filter. ### How does the plugin identify option sources? The plugin uses pattern matching based on option name prefixes and common WordPress naming conventions. This is an educated guess, not definitive information. Source identification helps you understand which plugin or system component likely created an option. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cd4bf5ad28b1eb36e0cc0c73fda49a08bb6e024e8ee5e743eb0dca0c8e6080b1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[works well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-3161/)󠁿 [pagrob](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pagrob/) 14 aprila, 2026 works well does what is necessary without creating problems [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sac-database-inspector/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “SAC Database Inspector” is open source software.
