Optimize your custom fields

The custom fields clean up tool in the Site optimizer helps administrators remove unused or out-of-date custom fields. Removing these fields can improve the speed and responsiveness of your site.

To view the custom fields clean-up tool, select System from your global settings, Site optimizer, then Custom fields from the sidebar menu.

This page shows you:

• the total number of custom fields in your site

• our recommended ideal number based on performance data

  • This recommendation is not a hard limit and can be exceeded. However, we feel this number reflects where your site will begin to experience degraded performance.

• your usage compared to this recommended number, and

• the last time anyone cleaned your site using this tool

Based on these numbers, you can make large-scale changes to the custom fields in your site such as deleting them.
