 * Hi,
 * I’m currently using LiteSpeed Cache on my WordPress site and I want to make sure
   that using Advanced Database Cleaner is fully compatible. My goal is to clean
   up database options and entries that LiteSpeed doesn’t handle.
 * For example, I have leftover entries from Astra and Ezoic that I no longer use,
   such as `astra-settings` and `ez_adtester_config`. I want to remove these orphaned
   options to avoid loading unnecessary data on every page and improve database 
   performance.
 * Can you confirm if Advanced Database Cleaner can safely handle these types of
   options alongside LiteSpeed Cache without causing conflicts?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Yes, Advanced Database Cleaner works perfectly alongside LiteSpeed Cache. The
   two plugins serve different purposes: LiteSpeed handles caching and front-end
   performance, while Advanced Database Cleaner focuses on database optimization
   and cleaning.
 * You can safely use ADBC to remove leftover or orphaned options. Cleaning these
   entries helps reduce autoloaded data and improves database performance without
   conflicting with LiteSpeed.
 * Kind regards,
   Younes

 * Hi Younes,
 * Thanks for your response! I know LiteSpeed Cache offers some basic database optimization
   features, but they’re not as comprehensive as what Advanced Database Cleaner 
   provides.
 * For example, I’d like to remove entries such as:
    - `astra-settings` (I haven’t used Astra for years)
    - `ez_adtester_config` (I haven’t used Ezoic for years)
    - `GDPRCookieConsent-9.0`
    - `CookieLawInfo-0.9`

 * I no longer use any of these, so I believe using your plugin to clean them up
   should be safe, correct? Of course, I’ll make a full backup beforehand.
 * Kind regards,
   Juan

 * Hi Juan,
 * Yes, you can safely use Advanced Database Cleaner to remove those unused options.
   Since you no longer use the related plugins, these entries are considered orphaned.
 * As you mentioned, making a full backup beforehand is always the best practice
   before any cleanup.
 * Kind regards,
   Younes
