Transient Cleaner

This plugin removes expired transients from your site's options table, preventing database bloat caused by leftover cached data. It is designed for site administrators who want to maintain a lean database without manual intervention.

• Automatic scheduled cleaning: Runs once daily by default (configurable hour) to clear expired transients without user action.
• Manual ad-hoc cleaning: Trigger a cleanup on demand from the Tools > Transients settings screen.
• Lite mode: Disable the settings screen by adding a constant to wp-config.php, useful for multisite or minimal admin overhead.
• Database optimization option: Request an optimization of the options table after cleaning to reclaim space.
• Hooks for developers: Use housekeep_transients or clear_all_transients to integrate cleaning into custom code.

Compatible with PHP 8.2 and tested up to WordPress 6.9.4. Active on over 1,000 installations.
