Meta Box Custom Table 2.3.0

Meta Box Custom Table is a WordPress plugin extension designed to store Meta Box custom fields in a dedicated database table instead of the default WordPress meta tables. It helps address database bloat caused by large volumes of post meta and frequent writes. By separating your custom field data, it can speed up database queries when retrieving that information. The result is a more scalable way to manage structured content for sites built with Meta Box. It works together with the free Meta Box plugin, which you must install first.

Main Features

• Dedicated storage table — Saves custom fields to a separate table for cleaner database organization.
• Custom meta handling — Redirects how Meta Box field data is stored compared to default WordPress metatables.
• Database bloat reduction — Helps limit growth in general meta tables as your content and fields expand.
• Improved query performance — Supports faster reads when fetching custom field values.
• Scalable data management — Makes it easier to maintain performance on larger WordPress sites.
