Crashes Site After Filling Database With Transiants

  • Well, got a new client. The site started becoming very slow. After cleaning the Database we found it fast. But over time, the database started growing again.

    Turns out, this plugin creates tens of thousands of transient records in the options table. Since they load all options on every visit, this causes a performance issue, and makes the site VERY slow. Clearing the transients gets it back, until it fills up again.

    Not sure but there appears to be a nulling of the transient, but not a deletion. If it deleted it instead, it would probably avoid these issues.

  • Same. Database is 3GB! Please advise how to fix/update.

    I had this problem when I originally began using this plugin several years ago. I’ve been using the plugin Delete Expired Transients to clean up after this one, and so far, it has been doing the job. It runs automatically once a day to delete expired transients, or you can do so manually through the Admin UI. Currently, my Options table is at about 6.2 MiB.

    It would be nice if this plugin had a cron task of its own to clean out the expired transients so that another plugin wasn’t necessary…
