Big database?

Question

DLE

Hello everyone, there is a site in which the database takes about 300 mb, or rather the dle_post table. At the same time, the site itself (with all the files) weighs 64 mb, why is this? or is it characteristic of the DLE engine, or is it a developer's cant?

Answer 1

This is normal, it's just that you have long news, but there are few uploaded images or files to the site, and even for dle this size is very small, I have two sites with a database size of 2 and 5 GB, I just advise you to put on kroner once a day cron.php and cron.php?cronmode=optimize the first one will create a backup copy of the database, the second one will optimize it with Cron DLE and if the version of the engine is not the latest, I advise you to upgrade, many new pleasant updates
