Autoclear Cache

I’m afraid not; auto-clearing AO’s cache could break sites entirely is the page cache is not cleared at the same moment. Additionally a fast growing cache is an indication of more important issues and can be prevented by changing the configuration (not aggregating (inline) JS/ CSS).

hope this clarifies,

Thanks for your “frank” feedback, @optimizingmatters,

I read your cautionary tale and comprehended the hosted account that incurred “Out of Space” for the hosting was likely the sum composite of too many JavaScript files caching. The cache was burgeoning at 300 MB, with emails nearly full, causing the 2GB limit account to freeze up. Since I have been trying to keep the cache trimmed on all accounts. Apparently, that approach defeats largely the purpose of caching in the first place. I will incrementally remove the cache cleaner across accounts and watch for cache size problems.

In my case, “Also aggregate inline JS?” is always unchecked. I use the ThemeFusion Avada theme across all my accounts since inception and they include a host of performance options that replicate many of the functions that Autoptimize provides, therefore I am careful to disable those features so as not to have two sources trying to perform the same optimizations.

Thanks for your clarifications and the exceptional module! I have been using it since I think 2016 starting with 2.1 ??

you’re welcome, feel free to leave a review of the plugin and support here! ??

Hello,

This is a great topic, and I checked the post at https://blog.futtta.be/2016/09/15/autoptimize-cache-size-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine/

add_filter('autoptimize_filter_cachecheck_maxsize','change_maxsize');
function change_maxsize() {
return 10*1024*1024;
}

I am just thinking if I should add the above code snipts on our site, could you please clarify where the cache stored? Does it use the server memory, or stored cache on Server Disk?

Here are server enviroment: https://prnt.sc/cZQA1Ie5WVTP

8 GB?Memory, and average usage is around 80%.

160G Disk capacity, average usage is around 15%

So, what size should we should allocate for Autoptimize Maxsize here?

Thanks in advance.

it’s stored on the server disk, in wp-content/cache/autoptimize. allocating more space is … useless, it just hides the problem for a little longer really. not aggregating (inline) JS/ CSS is generally the better approach ??
