Also midnight is not a good time to run optimisation: it’s a very busy time with lots of CRONs. Would be better to allow the user to modify this.
hi,
– Yes, the only way to access the plugin is widget on the administration page of WordPress. There is no need to create an admin page or options for a plugin that has no settings to be saved.
– You can check yourself the status of your database by typing the query in SQL tab of phpMyAdmin:
SHOW TABLE STATUS
– There is much discussion on the net about the usefulness or non utility to optimize an InnoDB table. Normally, they do not need.
– Moreover, optimization of InnoDB tables is to rewrite the table entirely, which differs from MyISAM.
– To try to understand the problem, we should know the version of PHP, the Apache and the MySQL installed on your server.
– No, the plugin does not use the CRON WordPress because it is often disabled by the webmaster, it is an internal cron which is just as simple.
– In fact, the WordPress CRON as well as that of the plugin do not allow to choose the time at which it is being. It allows to choose the time from which it will be carried out. Indeed, it is done from the first visit on the site after midnight.
Perhaps, I should indicate the first visit after 2:00 in the morning.
Options are not much here, except to make believe that optimization will take place at such time, while in reality it will take place after such time (at the first visit).

Chère Luciole,
Thanks for your answer. I understand
About the matter of CRONs: I have disabled the automatic running of WP-CRON triggered by a user and use a real cron to launch WP-Cron every 5 minutes, this way I am not dependant on user behavior to run CRONs.
I also use the fantastic plugin called Crontrol which allows me to edit each individual CRON within WP-CRON. This is how I saw you you were not using WP-Cron.
My typical behavior is to go into crontrol and move all daily tasks to run between 2am-5am.
So if you want to keep your plugin lightweight and without options, you might consider using wp-cron and recommending crontrol…
Kind regards,
Blaise
Indeed, I did not know this plugin, I’ll watch it and use the native WordPress cron instead of my personal cron.
