    I have used this plugin on 5 different multi-site wordpress and have achieved awesome results. Here’s the best one:

    • 13779 revisions deleted
    • database size reduced from 297MB to 65MB = 22% of original size!!
    • this lead to an 11% speed gain (server side execution time to generate the page)
    • we had such good results, because we had no limit on the number of revisions per post a few years back. wordpress does not automatically clean the revisions. The revisions for a post, only get cleaned up when you actually work on a post. In our case we had revisions from 2015 that were still encumbering the database.

    Those are the settings I used:
    Delete revisions of: POST, PAGE, USER_REQUEST, WP_BLOCK, WP_TEMPLATE, WP_TEMPLATE_PART, WP_GLOBAL_STYLES, WP_NAVIGATION, WP_FONT_FAMILY, WP_FONT_FACE
    Delete revisions older than: 720 days
    Maximum number of - most recent - revisions to keep per post / page: 25
    Delete trashed items: YES
    Delete spammed items: YES
    Delete unused tags: YES
    Delete transients: NO
    Delete pingbacks and trackbacks: YES
    Clear oEmbed cache: NO
    Keep a log: YES
    Optimize InnoDB tables: YES
    Number of excluded tables: 0

    I’ve reviewed the plugin’s source code and tested it extensively and found out a few issues in the source code that I have shared with the maintainers. Overall, I think this plugin is safe to use, provided you backup your database before and that you fully understand what you’re doing.
