How to optimize a MySQL database?

It is always a good idea to keep your databases’ tables optimized.

To perform the optimization, log in to your Site Tools > MySQL > phpMyAdmin and select the database whose tables you wish to optimize.

A list with all the database’s tables will appear. Tick the tables you wish to optimize, or click [Check All] to select all tables. From the [With selected:] drop-down menu choose Optimize table. This will execute the OPTIMIZE TABLE SQL query on the selected tables and they will be updated and optimized.

In case you need assistance from an expert for the analysis and optimization of your site’s MySQL database, you can post a new Expert Care request in the Help Center section of your SiteGround User Area.
