# Requirements - Pruneline 1.x documentation

> What Pruneline needs to run, where it keeps its data, and what it works alongside.

## Server and WordPress

| | Minimum |
|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.5 |
| PHP | 7.4 (8.1 or later recommended) |
| WooCommerce | Not needed |

**Tools → Pruneline** and **Settings → Pruneline** are for administrators. The scan runs while **Tools → Pruneline** is open, a few seconds at a time, through the WordPress REST API (as the block editor does). On very big sites, you can scan from the command line instead: see [WP-CLI](wp-cli).

## Where Pruneline keeps its data

| What | Where |
|---|---|
| The scan's index: every block, widget, module and reference found, and where | The table `{prefix}pruneline_refs` (usually `wp_pruneline_refs`) |
| What each installed (and deleted) plugin and theme brings: its blocks, widgets, options, tables and scheduled events | The option `pruneline_owners` |
| The scan's progress | The option `pruneline_scan` |
| Blocks seen in the block editor in the last 30 days | The option `pruneline_editor_blocks` |
| Settings | The option `pruneline_settings` |
| The table's version | The option `pruneline_db_version` |
| How many rows a list shows | The user meta `pruneline_per_page` |

Pruneline never changes your content by itself. On multisite, each site has its own data.

## Works alongside

- **Page builders**: Pruneline reads the layouts of Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, Divi and WPBakery. See [Page builders and templates](page-builders).
- **Block themes and classic themes**: both. With a block theme, template parts and the theme's template files are read too.
- **WooCommerce**: not needed. Products are scanned like pages. Orders aren't scanned.
- **Action Scheduler**: when a plugin brings it, pending actions without a handler are listed as [leftover data](leftover-data).
- **Bracketline**: Pruneline doesn't audit shortcodes in general. With Bracketline, our free shortcode audit, active, [What breaks](what-breaks) also counts each plugin's shortcodes, and the [Elementor editor panel](elementor-editor-panel) links to Bracketline.
- **WP-CLI**: see [WP-CLI](wp-cli).
