Users say my site doesn't come up - I now know why

I doubt I am the only one who has this problem.
Some users are telling me they cannot pull up my web site.
This has been driving me nuts for a long time.

So I was away in Vagas on a trip. I noticed that I could get on in the morning at the hotel. However by the afternoon. I had no shot. Confirmed this on day two.

Remembering that there was a section in Store Manger that said something about
optimizing the database, I thought I would try that the next morning. So in the afternoon, My site comes up. Hooray. Now I know a fix. Well sort of.

My question is, is there this already? Or am I requesting the Zen team to make a modification that I am sure could be figured out how to do,

Scheduled Optimizations of the database.

Say Optimize every Monday at 2am est.
(I would have mine done daily....)

Please excuse me if this has been already addressed before.

I think that you solved a problem but have mis-interpreted the root cause.

I have had sites with 100,000 products that never optimized their DB without access issues.

I would look to other "root causes"

The only thing I can think of is my database could use alot of cleaning.
There are products that no longer exists in admin that can be pulled up when I make a google feed. However since I cannot find them on the admin side I have no way of deleting them.
