SharePoint On-Premise and SharePoint Online Checklist and Best Practices to fine tune the existing farm

Question

Hi Team,

Greetings.

Kindly help me in providing scripts for performing an analysis (Checklist) of SharePoint On-Premise & SharePoint Online farm and provide best practises to improvise the existing SharePoint farm.

For Ex: Script to check orphan DB and clean up those DBs which could improve the overall performance of farm.

Note: Require for both On-Premise and Online SharePoint farm.

Would be really helpful if you could provide me the PowerShell or PnP script.
