Over time, databases can become cluttered with unused data, causing slower query execution and affecting overall site speed. Hostinger makes database optimization easy by providing access to <strong data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"478\">phpMyAdmin<\/strong>, a powerful tool that allows you to manage and optimize database tables directly from the hosting dashboard. In this guide, you\u2019ll learn how to access phpMyAdmin through Hostinger, select database tables, and optimize them using built-in options. Performing regular database optimization helps maintain a fast, stable, and well-performing WordPress website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; border-radius: 10px;\" title=\"Optimize WordPress Database Tables Using phpMyAdmin\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.app.guidde.com\/playbooks\/7Ey4DFvDNuTGtvZRGY8U7g?\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-forms allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.17em; font-weight: bold; margin: 1em 0; width: 100%; word-break: break-word; max-width: 100%;\">1.
