 * Hello team,
 * Like a lot of users, I’m facing of a large cache issue for a month or more and
   have to flush it twice a day. It’s not manageable at all.
 * Can you help debugging this? Our config seems to be fine and we’ve read almost
   all the docs and faq about that kind of issue. Nothing’s better.
 * Can you help me analyze and find which element (plugin, .js, .css) is taking 
   all the cache in order to exclude it?
   Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flarge-cache-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * so what is you current configuration?
    - is CSS aggregated?
    - is inline CSS also aggregated?
    - is JS aggregated?
    - is inline JS also aggregated?

 * OK, can you temporarily disable “concatener les fichier CSS” to see if that makes
   the problem go away?

 * Know, the cache contains only 40 files for 1,04 Mb for a more than a day.
 * I wonder if this is normal because usually the cache fills up very quickly.
 * Any clue?
 * Thanks

 * well, it confirms the problem is very likely due to the CSS being combined. Now
   as you had “also aggregate inline CSS” of and as `wp-content/uploads` and `wp-
   content/cache` were excluded from CSS aggregation, it are not the usual suspects
   that are bloating the cache.
 * maybe as next step re-activate “aggregate CSS” but exclude `wp-content/themes`.
   if the problem is still not there, the issue is with one (or more) theme files,
   if it is not we’ll try with `wp-content/plugins` ?

 * Good morning,
 * Excluding theme files directory from optimization is OK. The cache don’t bloat.
 * I wonder if we could find exactly what files are the bad guys without testing
   each subdirectory.
 * Thanks for your assistance .

 * yes you should be able to do that; `themes/woodmart/css/parts` seems to contain
   a lot of small(er) CSS files, but what might be happening is that the theme is
   smart in the sense that it loads those individual parts when required and that
   the combination of those parts-files is different for (almost) every page on 
   your site. when aggregating that would result in a different aggregate CSS-file,
   resulting in a too big a cache.
