    If I enable the email logging feature, will it make my database heavy over time? tbh I just wanna keep my site super lightweight cz speed is really important. Can I auto delete old logs?

    Hi @clifford2,

    Thanks for reaching out! Yes, enabling email logging can increase your database size over time, since the plugin stores details about sent emails. However, there are a couple of ways to keep that under control.

    When setting up email logging, you can choose to exclude attachments, which helps reduce how much server space is used.

    You can also set a log retention period, for example 6 months, so that older email logs are deleted automatically once they pass that limit.

    You can find more details here: https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-email-logging/

    I hope this helps. Thank you!
