[Video] How to Tune Indexes Fast
In this 76-minute session, I’ll show you how to use the latest features of sp_BlitzIndex to rapidly improve performance on an existing database. I’ll show you how to figure out quickly if you’ve got too many indexes or not enough, and then demonstrate how to get advice from AI on how to consolidate them in seconds.
Here are the resources we discussed in the session:

at video position 22:22 – you should consider to change your method from D.E.A.T.H to D.E.H.A.T
When you add clustered indexes to a HEAP table it will need to recreate every nonclustered index, which would take longer, when you added missing indexes / tuned indexes before.
For tables, that you didn’t touch before (some smaller / rarely used HEAPs) it doesn’t relly matter, where the H in your workflow is.
Have you been through my Mastering Index Tuning class? (I’d check but I’m on a plane.) I explain the ordering in there.
I had a online Mastering training several years (~15) ago at a former employer, but can’t remember anything regarding the DEATH order (if that concept was already a thing in your course at that time).
Might be time to freshen up! 😉
fyi, nothing wrong with the grammar. It’s not bad grammar at all. “Fast” can also be an adverb, just as much as “quickly.” (It’s a “flat” (or “bare”) adverb–same form as the adjective–so it does not take the “ly” suffix.)
Great video! Thanks!
