Hello Friends there may be hundreds or even thousands of post revisions in your wordpress site.This post revision feature was first introduced in wordpress 2.6.Whenever you edit any of your post in your wordpress site then a post revision is created.Postr
evision is simply a copy of your older posts that is created when you edit them.So now u are aware os what post revision is then lets move on.

The problem with post revisions is that wordpress do not limit the number of revisions that can be stored for a post.So lets do some quick math lets say u have 100 posts and for all of them u had 5 post revisions then u already have 500 post revisions which are too much.In a long term that will increase to thousand and may be there are more than 5 for each posts.It will increase the load time of your website and that is what no webmaster likes.
