A WordPress logging plugin on your site can build up hundreds of thousands of log entries and clutter your database.
How to clear it. Clear the logs directly from the database with a single TRUNCATE operation. TRUNCATE removes all rows instantly, without the server load that row-by-row deletion causes. After clearing, deactivate the logging plugin to prevent the table from refilling. The site then returns to normal with a clean database.
If you reactivate the plugin. Logs begin accumulating again unless the underlying source of the log volume is also turned down. In this situation, that source is the HomeRunner plugin’s debug-level API logging.
