Here I will tell you without loosing trafic or SEO how can you change the wordpress permalink day and name to post name

If you are using any caching plugin (w3-cache or wp super chache) then remove all cache from dashboard.
Last edit .htaccess file and put following code there. Change domain name to your site name.
When would you want to use the other permalink settings?
If you’re a news site, the Day and name or Month and name option lets visitors know when the content was published.
Google News requires you to have a minimum of 3 numbers in your article URLs. The date-based options achieve this.
If you have a lot of content on your website covering a wide range of topics, using categories in the URL can provide context. For example, /shows/big-bang-theory/ and /science/big-bang-theory/ are two very different things. This works best when you choose only 1 category for your posts.
While running wordpress site, save Ram usage is always great idea and you can easily improve the site performance by simple wordpress theme tricks.
We mostly use the get_permalink(), get_the_title() methods in our wordpress theme. Do not pass the post ID as parameter.
if you’re doing a get_permalink or get_title() call with Post id, 8 out of 10 times you’ll need to more of that post than just the permalink, so this isn’t really a problem.
save Ram usage
Post object is actually already slightly faster than calling get_permalink with $post->ID (in get_post it then only sanitizes and adds to cache, it doesn’t fetch new data), but the real benefit comes when you add a variable called filter in the $post object, setting it to “sample”. Now you decide whether that post object is going to be cached or not and which variables it contains.
Pass the $Post object instead of Post ID.
Do not use the Custom fields. Your server need to fire extra custom quries on Mysql server.
If your are using $wpdb->get_results or new WP_Query( $args ) then add the order by.
