Astricode Ops analyzes wp_options without modifying data.
The analyzer measures:
- total records;
- physical size reported by the database;
- autoloaded options;
- estimated autoload payload;
- standard transients;
- site transients;
- expiration records;
- expired transients;
- orphaned timeout records;
- transients without expiration.

Autoload reference
Astricode Ops uses the following reference ranges in the interface:
- up to 800 KB — Healthy;
- 800 KB to 2 MB — High;
- above 2 MB — Very high.
These ranges are diagnostic guidance. A large option is not automatically junk.
Transients without expiration
A transient without a timeout may be legitimate.
Astricode Ops does not automatically classify all non-expiring transients as deletable. Only timeout records whose associated transient value no longer exists are considered safely orphaned by that rule.
Largest autoload options
The analyzer lists large autoloaded options so administrators can identify which records contribute most to the autoload payload.
Use this for investigation before taking any destructive action.
Operational and reversible wp_options inspector
The operational inspector allows you to search by option name. An empty search can display the largest options.
The table includes:
- option;
- estimated origin;
- status;
- autoload state;
- size;
- protection;
- Inspect action.

Selected option detail
The detail view can show:
- database ID;
- size;
- autoload state;
- value SHA-256;
- estimated origin;
- estimated status;
- protection.

A protected preview is provided for review. The preview can mask keys and values that appear to contain credentials and can be truncated.
The complete export preserves the full raw value and therefore must be stored securely.
Protected options
Critical WordPress options, Astricode Ops internal options and manually protected options cannot be quarantined.
This prevents an advanced cleanup operation from treating essential runtime configuration as disposable.
Reversible quarantine
Eligible options can be copied to quarantine with an integrity hash before being removed from wp_options.
The action requires typed confirmation of the exact option name.
