Meow Apps Database Cleaner Pro is a premium WordPress plugin developed by Jordy Meow, designed to be a more modern, visual, and user-friendly alternative to older tools like WP-Optimize or Advanced Database Cleaner.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
While the free version handles basic cleanup (revisions, drafts, spam), the Pro version adds deep-scanning and automation tools:
Enhanced “Used By” Insights: The standout feature. It scans your database to identify which specific plugin or theme created a certain table, post type, or option. This helps you safely delete data from plugins you no longer use.
Nyao Sweeper (Automatic Cleaning): A background task that periodically cleans your database. It uses “tiny requests” to ensure your site’s performance isn’t impacted while it works.
Deep Table & Option Management: Pro provides better detection for orphaned tables and allows you to adjust “autoload” settings for options, which can significantly speed up the WordPress backend.
Asynchronous Processing: Specifically built for large sites; it processes deletions in batches to avoid the dreaded “504 Gateway Timeout” or memory errors.
Safety First: It doesn’t just “blindly” delete. It shows relationships between data. For example, it might flag a table as “unknown” rather than just “unused,” prompting you to check before you delete.
UI/UX: It is built with a sleek, React-based interface that feels much faster and more intuitive than the standard WordPress admin style.
Modern Codebase: It is frequently updated to support the latest versions of PHP (8.x+) and WordPress.
