Description
WS Action Scheduler Cleaner is a small tool designed to optimize your WordPress database by managing the Action Scheduler tables. Action Scheduler, a robust job queue and background processing library, is utilized by many popular plugins such as WooCommerce, WP Forms, and Jetpack to handle resource-intensive tasks asynchronously.
While Action Scheduler is crucial for the smooth operation of these plugins, its tables can grow significantly over time, potentially impacting your site’s performance. This is where WS Action Scheduler Cleaner comes in.
Key features:
- Easily clear completed, failed, or canceled actions from the Action Scheduler tables
- Set up automatic clearing schedules for efficient database maintenance
- Optimize the database tables to reclaim unused space and potentially improve performance
- Customize retention periods for logs and actions
- User-friendly interface integrated into the WordPress admin area
By regularly cleaning up unnecessary data from Action Scheduler tables, you can:
- Improve database query performance
- Reduce database size
- Enhance overall site speed and responsiveness
WS Action Scheduler Cleaner is an essential tool for any WordPress site using plugins that rely on Action Scheduler, especially high-traffic e-commerce sites or membership platforms that generate a large number of scheduled actions.
Usage
- In the WordPress admin panel, go to Tools > Action Scheduler Cleaner
- Select which action statuses you want to clear (completed, failed, canceled)
- Set up different automatic clearing schedules if desired
- Click “Clear Selected Actions” to manually clear actions – or let the automatic schedule handle it
- Optionally optimize the DB tables as well; this is your solution for when the size of the tables doesn’t seem to go down on simple clearing
For best results, we recommend setting up an automatic clearing schedule to maintain optimal database performance. By default, this happens every 30 days. On deactivation of the plugin, the retention period will reset to the default.
