    Hi, is there any danger to optimising tables while a busy Woo/Membership site is active or live?

    I need to run some table optimisations but I’m terrified that it could cause something to break if writes are made to the database during the run. Or am I being silly?

    Optimizing tables on a live, busy WooCommerce/Membership site does carry risks, including potential slowdowns or data inconsistencies if modifications occur during the process. To minimize risks, ensure you:

    • Backup your database before optimization.
    • Schedule the optimization during low-traffic periods.
    • Consider running optimizations first in a staging environment if possible.

    With these precautions, you can reduce potential issues and ensure the optimization process goes smoothly.
