Optimize your website’s performance and streamline your editing workflow with the Time-based Revision Cleanup plugin for WordPress. Our plugin offers a sophisticated solution to the limitations of the default number-based revision system, which can quickly become inadequate for active sites. Instead of restricting revisions to a set count, our plugin allows you to specify a timeframe for keeping revisions, such as 30, 60, or 365 days, ensuring that your database retains only what’s necessary without losing the essential edit history of your posts.
In addition, our plugin enhances the admin dashboard with an analytics feature to generate visual representations of revision history data.
