This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/buran13/wp-db-surgeon/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/buran13/wp-db-surgeon ↗

Lightweight WordPress database cleaner. No bloat, no paywalls, no direct SQL queries.

Why another DB cleaner?

  • WP-Sweep hasn't been updated since 2022
  • WP-Optimize is bloated with cache/images features
  • Advanced DB Cleaner locks scheduling behind $39/mo paywall

Features

  • Preview before delete — see exactly what will be removed
  • Scheduled cleanup via WP-Cron (free)
  • Uses native WP functions, not raw SQL
  • Clean UI in WP 6.x style
