 * EXCLUDE DATABASE TABLES FROM OPTIMIZATION:
    I use (and use frequently) the REDIRECTION
   PLUGIN (Version 2.3.15) along with your amazing “Optimize Database after Deleting
   Revisions” plugin – Should I exclude database tables from optimization or is 
   it safe to include? My site is – [http://bottlemenuservice.com/](http://bottlemenuservice.com/)

 * Hey James,
 * About the only reason for excluding tables is when they are highly dynamical 
   tables, like tables keeping track of chat messages on a site with a lot of visitors.
   Tables that get constantly updated for some reason.
 * If that’s not the case is completely safe to optimize ‘non-wordpress’ tables.
 * Hope that answers your question!
 * peace,
    Rolf
