 * Hello
    It seems that the CSS folder is getting really huge with tons of CSS files(
   6708 files !!) there is no reason as permissions are ok, so, no issue here to
   delete all files. moreover, the files are 24 hours old maximum, which does not
   sound like erasing files issue.
 * I deleted all css files from ftp, clear cache from plugin, and going back to 
   website, and in 1 min, already 15 css files have been generated using 24Mb and
   keep growing.
 * would is be possible that a new css is generated for each new visit or something
   like that ?!!!

 * If generate critical CSS is enabled (and print critical CSS inline is disabled)
   it will generate a css file for each page. If you want to avoid this, then enablePrint
   full CSS inline or just disable generate critical CSS.

 * ok yes it was enabled. I am checking for all my websites where I enabled this
   plugin, using automatic wizard, and it seems that critical CSS is always enable.
   
   is it normal that it’s enable by default if this is generating so many files ?
   is it better to turn it off ?

 * ok I do, but in 5 min I have again :
    77M css 48M js so, in few hours, this will
   flood again the disk. website is with only posts and pages, so, there is nothing
   to exclude or then, there is no sense to have cache plugin 🙁
