    Hello,

    I used to backup my wordpress website files located in root directory.

    before swift the size for the backup file (.zip format) was 750MB now after install swift it reached 1500MB.

    any explanation about that ?!!

    @ghina1, Cache are physical files that resides inside your WordPress installation. You might want to skip your cache folder from backup to avoid this situation.

    @sottovoce is that increase okay ? no problem with my site ?

    and how can I exclude the cache folder?

    is that increase okay ?

    It’s normal. Go to your backup software/plugin and exclude cache folder. Go to Swift Performance Lite and take note of ->Settings ->Caching ->General -> Cache Path.

    Cache usually resides on /wp-content/cache/

    @sottovoce there is something I can’t under stand actually ..
    in the dashbored of the plugin ( in CACHE STATUS) there’s a section for (Known Pages) right?

    the value of “Known Pages” is 930 page while the site only contains 150 page … I want to know what is going exactly … is there a live support tool for you to check it plz.

    regarding the backup – I backup my files manually by run this command in the server command line shell: zip -r backup.zip htdocs

    and the result of run this command was a .zip file with size 746,119,166 before using swift …

    now when run this command after install swift performance light is 1,489,185,106

    plz I need to understand what is happened.

    Regarding the number of pages and unwanted URLs in warmup table, you might follow this guide.

    About the difference in (backup file) size. @sottovoce explained the diference very well. When Swift cache (and optimize) your site, those files and assets are stored in wp-contect/cache/swift-preformance folder.

    @fredawd but is that the expected size difference??

    I mean the (.zip) file for website files was 746,119,166 before using swift and now it reach 1,489,185,106

    is that okay?? I am really afraid of that increase in number.

    plz advise

    regardig the guide link, it’s not open and give error:
    This site can’t be reached exclude%20urls%20in%20warmup%20table’s server IP address could not be found.
    Search Google for exclude urls warm up table

    Hi,
    Sorry about that, the correct URL to the guide; https://swteplugins.com/docs/warmup-table/

    And yes, it is quit normal behavior that a backup .zip file is doubled when a cache and/or optimization plugin is enabled.
