How to identify which databases are still in use
What clues to look for in names and timestamps
How to safely test whether a database is connected to a live site
What precautions to take before deleting (like backups!)

Trying to do everything at once is the fastest way to overwhelm and delays.

The key benefits of starting with an MVP — get live faster, focus on what matters, and iterate.
What features you absolutely need for your first launch.
How to plan your website build in phases that support your business growth.
Start simple. Launch sooner. Improve continuously. That’s how successful online businesses are built.
