 * Hi
 * Ran some tests and GTMetrix reports that my site sends a lot of static files 
   to the browser
    [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/qq.groddfron.se/34KDsMf3/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/qq.groddfron.se/34KDsMf3/)
 * For Autoptimize, I enabled optimization but not aggregation
 * Then I looked at the server and saw these in Autoptimize’s cache CSS folder:
   
   [https://www.reddit.com/user/fitnesspage/comments/ofvckc/autoptimize_static_files/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/user/fitnesspage/comments/ofvckc/autoptimize_static_files/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
 * I’m just wondering are these different versions of the same file or unique files?
 * Are old files stored? I worry that old versions are being sent to users, delaying
   load times
 * Anyway, love this plugin!
 * Thank you

 * those are most certainly different files, AO creates those if the files are not
   minified (based on filename) and AO will only send them if the are requested 
   by the user (so not old).
 * but if you want to have less static files, consider aggregating after all 🙂
