 * Hello, I had installed the plugin and noticed that the database got twice the
   size after converting some tables in InnoDB.
   Is this a normal behaviour? The 
   database was already big (2.4GB) and now is 4GB.I’m tending to set up object 
   cache in the near future.Site monitored metadata was uploaded and its id is 3jpDBk92.
   Τhank you for the great plugin, the site loads faster regardless of whether the
   database grew.

 * Yes, it’s normal for the database size to increase when you add keys to tables.
   It’s the oldest tradeoff in computer science: space vs. time.
 * I noticed from your uploaded metadata that your MariaDB database server is far
   too small for your data. It has an innodb_buffer_pool_size of 128MiB, and your
   InnoDB tables take up 4 GiB. If you are having performance problems, see if you
   can get that buffer pool size increased.

 * Thank you for your quick response.
 * I finally did set up object cache and increased the innodb_buffer_pool_size at
   10GiB.
 * I’ve uploaded again the last monitor, can you please do a quick check if everything
   is ok or if I should do anything else regarding the database?
   Site monitored 
   metadata: 3jpDBk92.
 * Thanks in advance and once again thank you for your great plugin.
