 * WP-Optimize helps a lot in cleaning unused table making database query faster.
   Website loads faser than before

 * Thanks for the review, and glad to hear your site is loading faster after a cleanup.
   The database side of things is where WP-Optimize started all those years ago,
   so it’s always nice to hear it’s still pulling its weight.
 * One quick tip: if you head into **WP-Optimize > Database > Settings**, you can
   schedule the cleanups to run automatically on whatever cadence suits your site,
   so the junk never really gets a chance to build up.
 * Something a lot of our long-time users don’t realize: WP-Optimize has grown well
   beyond database cleanup over the years. It’s now a full performance suite, and
   all of it is in the free plugin you already have installed. Worth a look if you
   want to squeeze even more speed out of your site:
    - **Page caching** to serve pages without hitting PHP or the database on every
      request
    - **Image compression** (including WebP) to shrink one of the biggest sources
      of page weight
    - **Minification** of CSS and JavaScript, with options to defer and async scripts
    - **Preloading** so your cache is warm before visitors arrive
 * Pair those with the database work you’re already doing and you’ll likely see 
   another jump in load times. Thanks again from the team.
