🧼 Why Use RA Revisions?

WordPress stores a revision every time a post or page is updated. Over time, this can add up to thousands of extra database entries. RA Revisions helps keep your site lean by automatically removing excess revisions while preserving the latest few per post.

📅 Scheduled Cleanup

  • Uses WordPress cron jobs to run cleanup tasks
  • Frequency options: daily, weekly, or monthly
  • Custom cron interval for monthly cleanups is included
