Autoptimize using 9 GB of cache space!

hi scott;
that’s a known issue with plugins that inject page- (or request-)specific JS (or CSS) into the HTML (cfr. the FAQ) which breaks all caching.

As a solution you can hunt down the “ever-changing” JS or you could disable the aggregation of all inline JS using the API (“autoptimize_js_include_inline”-filter) as shown in autoptimize_helper.php_example.

hope this helps,
frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the reply.

I was just thinking of an easy solution to this:

When your PHP file runs that is responsible for creating the cache. Have a function in it that runs randomly, something like rand(1,100);.

When it did end up running, the function would check the size of the cache directory, when it is above a user set limit then it would auto purge the cache.

That shouldn’t take more then a few lines of code and it would be a great feature to have.

Thanks,
Scott

look what I found on my trello-board for the next release;

cronned cache-file-counter, show warning if number of files grows too big (>5000?)

??

kind regards,
frank
