Yes. Under settings > general > tweaks untick Normalize Static Resources

You said you experience this even when the cache had been completely built?
Please make sure you have ‘optimize prebuild only’ checked and uncheck optimize in background. Also you can disable ‘generate critical css’ to lower the load on your server.

@mandraagora – thank you! That eliminates 1 possibility.
@alphageekuk – please access your files either through ftp or cpanel / file manager. navagate to /wp-content/plugins and tell me if you see bwp-minify folder listed.
check if there is a folder labled ‘cache’ and if there is anything inside that folder

You can give your website link here so we can take a look.

I dont have any experience with pressable, but it’s possible it was pre-installed? contact your host and ask them to investigate.

Have you ever had BWM installed?

You are using cloudflare’s rocket loader to handle the loading of scripts. As a general rule you should never had 2 different tools trying to do the same job. This is no exception to that rule. My personal suggestion is disable cloudflare rocket loader and turn off minify html, css, js under the speed tab in cloudflare. Clear Swift cache and test to see what scripts are loading and when and make adjustments from there.

Did it give any error codes? Did you install it the normal way through the wp-admin dashboard? Who are you hosted with? Could you give us a link to your site please.

You can set the caching for logged in users. Go to Settings > caching > general and check the box “Enable Caching for logged in users”.
Please note: all logged in users have a separate cache for every page. It can increase the total cache size, depending on the count of your users and number of pages.

If you are continually clearing and rebuilding the cache, then yes, it will spike and possibly crash. Especially in a shared environment. You can control how much resources swift uses. Go to settings > optimization > general > Limit simultaneous threads. Check that box and set a number (2-3) and see what works for your setup.

@applejack1923 the plugin is usually pretty good about cleaning up after itself, but if you want to check it you can uninstall the normal way through wp-admin dashboard. You will need to get in your hosts cpanel / file manager or ftp program. Check the htaccess file to make sure all re-writes related to swift are gone. Then go to wp-content > cache and check for a ‘swift performance’ folder. If the folder is there, you can delete it. That will give you a clean space to re-install.

It is a fantastic plugin and it will be solved. Troubleshooting random issues is one of the most difficult jobs to tackle, but it is actively being worked on as we speak. Thank you everyone that has given input so far.

When did you install the plugin the first time? When did you notice this behavior? When you uninstall / reinstall, did you check htaccess to see if rewrite rules were deleted? We are trying to nail down a bug. The more info the better.

Who is it hosted with? Same as the others?

I have done several test logins from different IPs and it works beautifully! Thank you Paul. This is why you have the high ratings that you do. You’re a good man with a fantastic product!
