 * Hello.
   We manage +90 licence and most of all projects getting slower from week
   to week.
 * We running all projects on kinsta server with a lot of power, static cache and
   objectcache.
   32 Cores and 64GB Memory.But finally WordFence adding to much data
   to database.**DB tables**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       wp_wffilemodswp_wfknownfilelist
       ```
   
 * This tables getting so large on hightraffic websites. We try to limit the log
   rows in the settings, but we still have 200mb sizes per table. 
   Second problem:
   Why we have to empty this table every some weeks please? All good developed plugins
   have a native integrated job/function that will do that if you enable it.But 
   in wordfence some people asking for it for example here and nobody reply:[https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_wffilemods-and-wp_wfknownfilelist-dont-empty/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_wffilemods-and-wp_wfknownfilelist-dont-empty/)
 * Our ticket system is now full of issues with wordfence. Before we was using another
   solution in 90 domains and had maybe 5 tickets per month. Now we have many more
   per week.
   Please improve:Plugin baseTable performanceSupport speed
 * Please help us in this case to handle our problem with large tables every new
   week.

 * Hello.
 * Why you do not reply? We purchased so many WordFence licence…
   But when we start
   using for a project the free edition we stuck in most simple questions without
   any feedback.

 * Hi [@tommy83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommy83/),
 * If you do purchase Wordfence licenses and need support for the free plugin here
   I wouldn’t necessarily connect the dots between accounts. This topic was genuinely
   missed when posted in between taking leave and it just came to my attention, 
   so I sincerely apologize for the delay.
 * One thing to check would be making sure that your scans are completing. Tables
   can grow if scans don’t complete correctly as some are automatically truncated
   as part of that operation. Have you also tried running normal (or limited) scans
   to see if either of those help with the tables?
 * If that doesn’t make a difference, please send a diagnostic to **wftest @ wordfence.
   com** so we can take a look into the table sizes and configuration/platform the
   site and database are running on. Use the link at the top of the **Wordfence 
   > Tools > Diagnostics** page. Then click on **“Send Report by Email”**. Please**
   add your forum username** where indicated and **respond here after you have sent
   it**_._ You can start a new topic to indicate that you’ve sent the diagnostic
   if you like to ensure it’s refreshed up the list and we’ll resume in there.
 * **NOTE:** It should look as follows – Screenshot of [Tools > Diagnostic > Send by Email](https://www.wordfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/diagnosticsendbyemail.png)
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.
