Generated over 600k files

  • W3 Total Cache generated over 600,000 cache files, completely overwhelming the hosting of the website and making basic tasks like security scans impossible. I had to spend 4 DAYS!!! removing the files. No other caching plugin has ever caused such a disaster. I’m removing it immediately and at least now I know what to stay far away from.
