620 MB of cached files, how can I limit that?

  • Hi,

    I got an alert from my hoster because I reached the maximum available space on a very low traffic website. It was cause of WF cache (the normal one, not Falcon), it filled the space with 620 MBs! I had to update a plugin and reload the home page to empty the cache.

    How can I set the max cacheing space to use?
    I’m on a multisite install, using subdirectories.

    TIA

    It happened again!
    I think it could be related to the calendar plugin by Time.ly because I have that huge increase in disk space usage only on a directory using it and not on other subsites on the same multisite install.
    How do I limit the max disk space for Wordfence?

    TIA

    Is there a url specific to the calendar? I think on the cache page you have the option to exclude based on url path. I don’t have that plugin installed to check but will be able to in a bit. If you have a chance to look before I do, let me know and then try that.

    Hi,

    it would be useful if WF statistics would include a list of the cached files ??
    Now I see this:
    ——————————————–
    Total files in cache: 8977
    Total directories in cache: 227
    Total data: 351941KB
    Largest file: 47KB
    Oldest file in cache created 1 giorno ago.
    Newest file in cache created 21 seconds ago
    ——————————————–

    It seems the WF cache is increasing very fast even if the webisite has only a few visits, I think that instead of excluding an URL there should be an option to set a max size for it.

    Anyway, I see tons of URLs like:
    /public_html/wp-content/wfcache/xxx.xxx.it_servizi-eventi/eventi~action~agenda~page_offset~-1~time_limit~1385746199~
    They are all of 52 KB each.

    They are relative to a page where a calendar has been set to show recurring events (eg: every saturday at 18h30m).

    How do I fix this problem?

    TIA

    Hi

    Again, can you see if the page has a specific url like https://www.domain.com/calendar? You can exclude that from the cache if it does.

    And great suggestion! I’ll pass that to the feature request team and see if we can get that implemented.

    Hi, yes now I did exclude the URL with the page where the calender is shown, but I’m not sure WF will not cache the kind of files I was talking about in my previous message.
    I excluded URLs containing “/servizi-eventi/eventi/”.
    I’ll let you know if it works.

    Thanks!
