Hi dimospbru,
If you’re getting 3GB of files, that’s a website management issue, not a plugin issue.
All of this is covered in the plugin documentation. It’s important for users to read the documentation thoroughly before installing a plugin, so that you understand how it works and know what to expect.
Please see the section “How the Minification and Caching of CSS and JavaScript Works” in the documentation.
Here is a relevant portion of that section:
- This plugin creates the minified cache files for JS and CSS the first time someone visits a page. They then get replaced any time JavaScript or CSS files change. If they’re not changed, they will be cached for 24 hours, and then refreshed, and cached again.
- The minified cache files will be stored in sub-directories of your wp-content folder: “/wp-content/cache/rshcp/css/” and “/wp-content/cache/rshcp/js/”. There will be a lot of files in these directories…that’s ok…these are the cache files. That means everything is working.
- There will be two versions of each page’s CSS and JS files…one with “min” in the name, and one with “raw”. The “min” file is what gets used on your page, and the “raw” file is uncompressed file kept to use as a reference by the plugin so it knows when the code has changed.
If the cache directory grew to 3 GB, it means that your site is using far too much CSS and JS in the first place.
We’re happy to help you and look into this issue for you. Please head over to our WordPress Plugin Support page and submit a support request.
