Cache size is insane

    I have a one-page landing site as a placeholder for a larger project. No posts, no forms, just a single static page, and a few in draft state. Absolutely nothing special going on.

    This morning I got a notification email that the page cache is too large. Sure enough it’s at about 465MB (!)

    I clear the cache, and check back after about an hour, and the cache size is already 60MB.

    What is going on?

    Edit: In the time it took me to make this post, the cache size is up to 70MB.

    likely your theme (or page builder) is generates random id’s for divs every time the page is loaded, and those random id’s result in the CSS (and/ or JS) to be different resulting in cache misses and the file having to be re-created. try disabling “also aggregate inline JS” and “also aggregate inline CSS”, that will likely fix the problem.

    hope this helps,

    I went back and did this, and now the cache is maintaining ~ 20MB.

    What’s odd is that I have been using the same theme on different sites for years without this occurring

    afraid any update (of theme or plugins) can cause changes in the way CSS or JS are added in a different manner, so the likely culprit is such an update indeed.
