Cached data size optimal amount
-
HI, first of all thanks for the plugin!
I was looking for info about how to calculate the best Cached data size for my site. Will you please give me some advice about it or maybe a link if you already have that info written somewhere that I wasn’t able to find.
Thank you!

A good question!
I suggest you try 32MiB to start out. Then, after a week or so (or less time if your site is busy) visit the plugin’s statistics page and look how much data is in use. If it’s not all used you can decrease the size.
No harm is done by setting this too large, except that your .sqlite file gets big. That can cost a minor amount of I/O. If the 32MiB fills up fast, as on a very busy site, you can try doubling it. But, if your site is that busy you’ll want to consider using a redis or memcache(d) cache stack instead of this.
No harm is done by setting it too small either, except that the least recently written cache entries are more aggressively purged (deleted) during a cache cleanup and will need to be regenerated next time they are used, which can slow down your site a bit.
