WP Optimize – Cache l?uft voll

Hello,

Please could you install WP Crontrol and check the Cron Events tab, does wpo_minify_purge_old_cache appear and what are the values for Next Run and Recurrence?

I have installed the plugin. wpo_minify_purge_old_cache is available and should be executed daily. See attachment

Hello,

Thank you for the video, apologies I should have clarified this in the beginning but when you refer to the cache filling up I take it you are referring to the minify cache and not your Raidbox cache?

No, it’s about the Raidboxes cache. This is getting bigger and bigger. And as I said, Raidboxes support took a look at it and said it was due to the WP Optimize plugin

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification, did they provide any further information on why they think this? If not, would it be possible to ask them? It will help us to reach a resolution more quickly.

I have now asked Raidboxes again and they have taken a closer look.

It is now about the minify cache and not about the Raidboxes cache. It is stored in the folder /wp-content/cache/wpo-minify/. They have noticed that there are countless minified files there. One folder, for example, is 475 MB in size.
Here are two screenshots

Hello,

Apologies for the delay and thank you for the screen shot and further clarification from Raidboxes. As the associated cron looks to be working correctly I do not have an explanation for this as of yet.

Please could you turn WordPress debugging on with a view to capturing the issue in the debug.log?

This plugin is quite useful for doing that quickly. If you would prefer to do it manually, here is a quick reference guide. I am sure you know how to do all of this already but I thought I’d include it just in case.

I installed and activated the plugin 3 days ago. Unfortunately, it shows absolutely nothing, no error log and nothing else.
Today the storage space has also filled up again and I had to empty it manually.
What else can I do now to help you troubleshoot?

Under Minify, can you try changing the Cache lifespon from the default of 30 to 10 or less. 

Can you also enable debug mode

Can you then go to the Minify Status tab and you should see some new options there, can you click “Reset the minified files”

I have set the cache lifetime to 2 days and activated the debug mode.
What should I look for now?

Can you keep an eye on the size of the file and see if this stops it from getting too big

I have set the cache lifetime to 2 days. Here is an overview of how the cache has changed in the last few days.

01/24/24 – 10:00 AM: current cache 65 MB (93 files) – total cache 116 MB (201 files)

01/24/24 – 4:30 PM: current cache 93 MB (129 files) – total cache 144 MB (237 files)

01/25/24 – 11:30 AM: current cache 276 MB (363 files) – total cache 327 MB (471 files)

01/25/24 – 8:30 PM: current cache 397 MB (519 files) – total cache 448 MB (627 files)

01/26/24 – 10:30 AM: current cache 481 MB (630 files) – total cache 484 MB (663 files)

01/26/24 – 5:30 PM: current cache 598 MB (780 files) – total cache 600 MB (813 files)

01/27/24 – 11:30 AM: current cache 764 MB (993 files) – total cache 767 MB (1032 files)

Last minify cache update is on all days 01/23/24 – 9:44 AM

What have you got for the lifespan for both the minified cache (under Minify >> Advanced and the regular cache under Cache >> page cache

The website is hosted by Raidboxes. The regular caching is done by Raidboxes, and you cannot activate regular caching in WP Optimize. On the Cache page, the default setting for the cache lifespan is 24 hours. But as I said, regular caching is not activated here.
In minify Cache I have set the lifespan to 2 days.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to insert images from my PC here, otherwise I would also send you the screenshots.

Can you try setting the minify cache to 0?
