Memory consumption – FAST!

you need to narrow down if it’s JS or CSS

then open 2 similar sized file in /wp-content/litespeed/js or /css , compare them

/wp-content/litespeed/js or /css do not exist

/wp-content/litespeed-cache/ does exist but there is no css / js inside

wait ? are you sure ? what is your server env ? cPanel or something ?

the memory you refer to , as RAM ? or the disk ?

Memory is out of 7GB of memory at my host. It did this over the past month 3 times. Not ram, but the the memory of the site / disk.

Yes I am sure

are you using something like cPanel ?

otherwise please contact with your provider and ask them to narrow down which dir is using the disk , then I will see what to do next.

lscache is taking up

1089.49 MB of space

I am using C Panel

is that 1GB ? or 10GB ?

1GB is kind of normal , 10GB , well , bit of excessive , how many pages your site have ?

and please provide the report number

you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click “send to LiteSpeed”

That’s 1 GB

I do not know how many pages my site has

I see you enable Woocomerce geo cache , do you actually need to any Geo function? like different price/tax based on user region ?

I use geocaching extensively. I operate within EU and need to tax per country. Also site is multivendor, so geo is used for optimised presentation in the vicinity.

well , then it got to use that much disk

let’s say your site has 500 pages, and imagine you geo it 30 countries, then it will actually be 500 x 30 = 15000 caches files , let alone other conditions like webp vs no-webp , desktop vs mobile which will even further multiplies it

the way you use the geo , from Woocomerce setting could even use more disk , perhaps you should ask your hosting provider to enable the GeoIP support for you

Ok I see, so the cache is supposed to be large, but not expand on a daily basis extensively….

Maxmind. I installed this site clean as of nov. 2023, so I trust it is fair to assume I am on their 2nd gen.?

Are you then saying that this should be managed through Cpanel instead? I simply do not get the picture. That’s all.

okay , no , I checked a bit further , actually I think it doesn’t make much difference on disk usage in such case for where/how it geocache it

but the thing still remains , it will use such disk space if you geoip for so many countries

Thx for your time and assistance …. I don’t mind a large cache as long as it does not build and build, and I do not think it does.

I have deleted plugin – Regenerate Thumbnails. I heard from other source, that it is not supposed to be installed and especially not for block themes. After deletion public html dropped from 6GB to 3GB. I will investigate further on media generation by core WP / Perfect Images / lscache.

Will you recommend to leave webp and jpg generation off in lscache? since all of this is already performed by core and pretty image. I am not sure if rouns double images or actually checks if images already exist. I understand that WP Core does webp itself…?

the wp core supports webp image as directly uploading , it doesn’t do so in older version , this is newly uploaded image as webp already

what our plugin does is , convert your previous uploaded .jpg or png files , to webp version

they are not exactly the same thing.
