  • Saved Me Hours!

    I installed this plugin on a few of my sites that had issues with the dashboard running slow due to the large amount of revisions that my clients were creating. This really cleaned up the database and sped up the dashboard for users significantly!

  • Well-designed with the user in mind

    I installed the Time-Based Revision Cleanup plugin on my site and and it really is a nifty plugin. You can tell the developer knows what he's doing. Really love the chart visualization and the fact that it does the work of keeping my db clean and up-to-date. Thanks for the cool plugin!
