Automatically delete old or failed scheduled actions and trim logs to keep your store running smoothly.
Every WooCommerce site relies on the Action Scheduler — the invisible system handling background tasks like order emails, subscription renewals, and stock updates. But over time, this system accumulates thousands of completed and failed scheduled actions, clogging your database and slowing everything down.
The Scheduled Actions Module in Wuclean helps you automatically remove old scheduled actions and trim logs — keeping your store’s background engine lean and efficient.
⏱️ Why Cleanup Matters
By default, WooCommerce retains completed and failed scheduled actions for 30 days or longer. For busy stores, that can mean tens of thousands of unnecessary entries sitting in your database tables. When last did you look at your Scheduled Actions?
Common symptoms include:
- Unnecessary strain on your hosting resources.
- Slower database queries and admin screens.
- Delays in order processing or background jobs.
- Increased backup sizes.
Wuclean gives you control over how long to keep these records — and deletes them automatically based on your preferences.
⚙️ How the Scheduled Actions Module Works
This Module is simple, precise, and flexible. You choose how long to keep different types of actions and logs, Wuclean does the rest.
🧩 Key Features
- Completed Actions TTL (Time to Live)
By default, WooCommerce keeps completed scheduled actions for 30 days. With Wuclean, you can reduce that to 3 days for example. - Failed Actions TTL
You might want to keep failed action a little longer and can control this separately. - Action Scheduler Logs TTL
The Action Scheduler logs table grows quickly. Trim logs older than your chosen age (e.g., 21 days) automatically to reduce bloat and maintain optimal performance. - Manual or Scheduled Execution
Run cleanup manually anytime or schedule it to run automatically every day and receive action summaries via email.
