Compute Cycles

  • Hi, Frank, I really liked your plugin. But there is a problem: I am running my site on Rackspace, and everytime I activate your plugin, they tell me I am consuming too many compute cycles (I do not really understand what is it). Actually, the compute cycles consumptions increases around 10 times every time I activate your plugin. As they charge me extra money when the 10000 cc/month limit gets exceeded (your plugin consumes around 1000 cc/day), I had to deactivate the plugin. Can you help me?
    Regards,
    Pedro.

    Morning Pedro;
    CPU usage of Autoptimize depends on whether or not the optimized CSS and JS can be served from cache. If not, it has to re-minimize, which indeed takes (CPU-)time. If cache can or cannot be used, depends on your site and specifically if there is CSS or JS that is unique to each page. If so, excluding that unique CSS/JS from optimization can help you bring down the amount of files that have to be re-minified. There is info in this blogpost on how to identify which JS/CSS to exclude.

    Hope this helps,
    frank
