A pristine codebase is useless if the underlying database is rotting. I treat Advanced Database Cleaner Pro as a Forensic Instrument. Over time, WordPress accumulates “invisible debt”: orphaned metadata, expired transients, and fragmented tables from uninstalled plugins, that silently degrades query performance.

I do not use this tool blindly; I use it to perform surgical audits on the wp_options table, identifying autoloaded data that slows down Time to First Byte (TTFB). It allows me to categorise and prune orphaned data that standard optimisation plugins miss. For high-concurrency WooCommerce stores where every millisecond of query time counts, this tool is essential for maintaining long-term database hygiene and preventing structural decay.
