 * Hi,
 * I am clearing space on our server and fvm is taking up a lot of space with files
   that have been created.
 * The files all start with footer-
 * is there a way to stop this from happening?
 * here is an example of the root:
    public_html/wp-content/uploads/cache/fvm/1594377348/
   out
 * please let me know if you need any more info.
    thanks!

 * That is explained in the faqs:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-velocity-minify/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-velocity-minify/faq/)
 * It usually means, some script is generating dynamic code that is changing on 
   every pageview. That will be considered a different file (code), hence FVM will
   generate a new cache file.
 * You need to see what’s changing on every page view and exclude it via the ignore
   list.
 * You can also use full page caching, if your site supports it.
    That will lock
   the html and prevent that dynamic code from changing, however it’s not solving
   the issue in the long term.
