    We’re trying to speed up our site and Rank Math has created an enormous amount of entries that a cleanup plugin (WP Sweep) says we can delete. Here’s what our hosting support said:

    It looks like you have 600,000+ entries in post_meta that probably don’t need to be there, they have the key rank_math_internal_links_processed

    It might be worth checking with Rankmath it’s safe to remove them as they’re going to be slowing the table down a bit.

    Can we proceed with that deletion?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    These entries are used by our plugin to see if the post in question has already had the internal links data processed.

    If you delete those entries our Link Counter module will not know which posts/pages are already processed and it will start processing them again.

    The only way to really get rid of these entries is to disable the Link Counter module and then delete those options from the post meta table.

    Hope this helps clarify your doubts.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.​​
