Settings Stats and Tools tabs
Database statistics, cron jobs, Action Scheduler status, cache management, and maintenance buttons on SEO Booster Settings.
Admin path: SEO Booster → Settings → Stats or Tools tabs
Both tabs are read-heavy diagnostics and maintenance. Save Save Settings only when changing toggles on the Tools tab (for example Delete data on deactivate).
Stats tab
Database statistics
Table row counts and approximate data sizes for SEO Booster tables (keywords, GSC history, autolink rules, AI bot hits, SEO analysis, etc.). Use when support asks how large an install has grown.
Cron jobs status
Lists upcoming WordPress cron events for SEO Booster hooks (seobooster_gsc_data_fetch, seobooster_email_update, seobooster_dailymaintenance, etc.) with next run time and schedule.
Scheduled Actions statistics
When Action Scheduler is available, shows counts by status for the seo-booster group:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Queued, not started |
| In progress | Running now |
| Complete | Finished successfully |
| Failed | Error — check Debug Log |
| Canceled | Stopped manually or by maintenance |
A per-hook breakdown table lists pending/failed counts for GSC keyword processing, SEO auto-scan, and related jobs.
Cache management
Displays wp-content/cache/seo-booster/ file count, total size, oldest/newest file timestamps.
Clear All Cache (when files exist) deletes .txt cache files used for full-page SEO analysis downloads. New analyses re-fetch pages as needed.
Tools tab (maintenance)
| Button | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Run Update Database | Runs database migrations / table creation |
| Restart Keyword Scanning | Cancels pending per-URL keyword jobs and queues a full GSC keyword rescan for all imported pages |
| Reset SEO Booster Debug Log | Truncates the {prefix}sb2_log table (Debug Log). Does not clear WordPress wp-content/debug.log |
| Reset keyword data | Truncates sb2_query_keywords and sb2_query_keywords_history only |
| Delete data on deactivate | Toggle — when on, deactivating the plugin drops SEO Booster tables (multisite: all sites) |
Clear All Data and Options (confirmation modal required) performs a destructive wipe:
- Truncates all SEO Booster data tables except
sb2_autolink(automatic link rules are preserved) - Removes GSC authentication and imported keyword data
- Clears SEO Booster cache files and cancels plugin cron / Action Scheduler jobs
- Resets analysis, 404, AI bot, and referral data
Use targeted buttons above when you only need one type of cleanup.
When to use which tab
| Question | Tab |
|---|---|
| Are GSC keyword jobs stuck? | Stats → Action Scheduler |
| Is cache bloated? | Stats → Cache management |
| Need to clear plugin error messages? | Settings → Tools → Reset SEO Booster Debug Log, or view Debug Log |
| Customer cleared keywords by mistake? | Avoid Reset keyword data unless intentional |
