The 7 best WordPress database plugins


Although nowadays WordPress empowers a 30% on the web, being a banner of the free internet and a kind of antiFacebook (they are a private company that finances free software, optionally offering payment options), we must not forget that its origins are like a CMS for blogs.

That is why although it is used in 2020 for semi-static sites such as portfolios with few visits and updates, or even landing pages or simple corporate sites, we must not forget the vocation of WordPress as a system to have a high volume of visits and a large number of publications.

That is why it is important to keep databases optimized, and plugins are of great help. Here are 7 options for you to value the best in your project:

1. WP Database Backup

It has a paid and free version, and its functionality is to make database backups and / or restore them. With the paid version you can schedule the periodic generation of backups.

2. WP-Optimize

It consists of a series of functionalities to optimize your database through a simple philosophy: make it thinner. Being a all in one try not to saturate your installation with several plugins that do the same and cause errors when duplicating functions.
