How to reduce WordPress database size?
Here is a simple one-line code that helps prevent the generation of new rows in the database. When we write a blog or design a website using builders like Elementor, our content is automatically saved every 60 seconds. Each time this occurs, a new row is created in the database, which can lead to a large number of rows as we add more blogs. This can negatively impact our website’s speed. Therefore, it is suggested to limit revisions. Below code you can put in wp-config.php
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);If you do not want a revision, please replace the number 3 with false in the line above. Above code is just a simple trick, many more tricks and plugins available in the market to reduce database size.
