Still trying to load Minify files when not activated

Hello @simonph,

Are you using any other caching solution that has a minify option or any minify plugin?

Only autoptimize (css and js), they are stored in cache/autoptimize/, it works fine with that alone. Problem arrises with W3 cache, it tries to load nonexistent files from cache/minify/ (as screenshot shows), seems to only happen on https://springcopenhagen.com/designers/ which is an archive page.

Hello,

Have you tried deleting the cache/minify folder in your wp-content and see if the issue persists?

Just tried this and did not work.
The cached version is still trying to load a lot of files from minify.

Hello,

W3 Total Cache does not try to load anything. It appears that you have some server-side caching and it’s serving some cached HTML page.
Please contact your host to confirm that.

Have restarted Redis, Memcached and Nginx on server. We are not running other caching like Varnish. Still same issue, it only appears on that particular archive page.
Again, it only appears when using W3 cache, deactivating W3 page caching removes the issue.

I have currently set the page to not be cached by W3 as it’s giving slow loading times.

Hello,

When minify is off in settings there’s only one case – the page is cached somewhere and not flushed.
i.e. remove the wp-content/cache folder to be sure caching doesn’t happen on the host.
further is environment-specific. it can be hosting provider-level caching or some kind of Cloudflare service-level caching

Thanks, deactivating W3 cache, deleting the whole cache folder, and then activate again solved it!
