Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Review
Was checking out all the disk usage and bandwidth allocation of most of the blogs in the farm so I could prepare to ahve them duplicated on toher servers for redundancy in case something happened. I noticed that all of the old blogs were eating up a lot of disk space and found out that the WordPress plugin WP-Shortstats as the culprit.
Of the total 600+ MB of total disk space on my blog alone, half of it is used by the pictures in the photo gallery and the other half (~260MB) was consumed by WP-Shortstats.
To put things in perspective, my blog posts/pages (1,038) only used 3MB and the comments (10,191+) just over 5MB.
AT the current rate, the wp-shortstats plugin takes in around 2.5MB of mySQL space per day. That’s an aweful lot for a plugin. I got gigabytes of disk space on my dedicated server so this ain’t a big issue.
But how about those who are just on shared hosting with multiple blogs? Would wp-shortstats be worth it?
My suggestion would be to empty the DB of any stats older than one week. Besides, those numbers will not be seen on the stats panel anyway, though I like the top keyword listing to stay put.

I think wp-shortstat should generate appropriate report pages in HTML and dump the remnant data. I’m not familiar how it works, but it could do better if it emulates AWStat’s system.

That was the very reason I stopped using WP-ShortStat. After a few months of using it the tables were taking 90% of my database space!
I’m currently trying WP-SlimStat which claims to halve the db usage size.

same here. i’m using WP-Shortstat and it’s eating up a lot of space. thanks Vix for sharing about Slimstat. i’m gonna try it out and see if it’s a better alternative to Shortstat.
