Cache needs to keep being purged

    I have a site of about 12GB but every 2-3 weeks I need to purge the Cache since it builds up <> 10GB of cache files. I then have to ‘purge cache’ to get rid of this since the site goes down through not having enough storage… it is 25GB and it fills up with Cache!

    I have cache lifespan set to 24 hours. Surely it should not keep adding to cache like this but re-use the same space ?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    To address the issue of your cache rapidly growing and needing frequent purges, here are some specific steps you can take:

    1. Exclude Certain Pages from Caching:
      • Identify pages that do not need to be cached and exclude them. This can help reduce the overall cache size.
      • Go to WP-Optimize > Cache > Advanced Settings and add URLs to the exclusion list.
    2. Regular Database Optimization:
      • Regularly optimize your database to remove unnecessary data like post revisions, trashed posts, and spam comments.
      • Go to WP-Optimize > Database and schedule regular cleanups.
    3. Optimize Images:
      • Compress images to reduce their size, which can help with overall storage use and indirectly manage cache size.
      • Go to WP-Optimize > Images and enable automatic image compression.
    4. Consider Increasing Server Storage:
      • If feasible, increase your server storage capacity to handle the cache size more comfortably. Contact your hosting provider to explore options for increasing storage.

    Unfortunately, WP-Optimize does not have a direct feature to limit cache size, and increasing the cache lifespan further might be necessary to avoid repetitive purging.
