Clean-Sweep

Most WordPress sites are slow because the database is full of garbage from old plugins and years of “ghost” data. This isn’t a “click and hope” plugin—it’s a raw utility for developers.

Clean-Sweep v0.2

A Modular Database Architect Utility for High-Performance WordPress Systems.

Most "optimization" plugins add more bloat than they remove. Clean-Sweep is a surgical utility built for architects who want direct control over database integrity and server memory without the overhead of heavy frameworks.

🚀 Key Features

  • Ghost Purge: Identifies and securely deletes orphaned postmeta rows left behind by uninstalled or poorly coded plugins.
  • Autoload Auditor: Scans the wp_options table to find the top 10 heaviest options loading into RAM on every single page request.
  • Autoload Offloader: Securely toggles autoload from 'yes' to 'no' for heavy options, reclaiming server memory without deleting vital data.
  • Modular Architecture: Organized using a "Separation of Concerns" (SoC) design pattern. Logic is decoupled from the UI for better scalability.

🛠 Why This Exists

WordPress performance bottlenecks are often invisible. If your wp_options table pre-loads 2MB of junk on every request, your TTFB (Time to First Byte) will suffer. Clean-Sweep provides the surgical tools to audit and offload that data using raw SQL for maximum speed.

🏗 Modular Structure

I have architected this plugin to follow professional development standards:

  • clean-sweep.php: The Bootstrap file and initialization engine.
  • includes/class-clean-sweep-engine.php: The Data Layer. Handles all raw $wpdb SQL interactions.
  • includes/class-clean-sweep-admin.php: The UI Layer. Manages WordPress Dashboard integration, Security Nonces, and Rendering.

💻 Technical Highlights

  • PHP 8.x Compatible: Uses Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Dependency Injection.
  • Standardized Documentation: Fully documented using PHPDoc blocks for IDE compatibility and team collaboration.
  • Security First: Every action is protected by WordPress Nonces and capability checks (manage_options).

⚠️ Warning

This is a high-level architect tool. Always perform a database backup before executing a "Purge" or "Offload" action.
