    @twd OPTIMIZE TABLE reorganizes the physical storage of table data and associated index data, to reduce storage space and improve I/O efficiency when accessing the table. The exact changes made to each table depend on the storage engine used by that table.

    @twd Just to clarify what @bornforphp said, the action “Optimize tables” simply runs the SQL command “OPTIMIZE TABLE” on each table.

    So, If I’m using WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache it will do the same thing for tables that the Database Plugin?
