    Hi, My site has over 5000 pages and I am using wp fastest cache. I am using FVM for css and js minification and wp fastest cache for html caching and gzip. The plugins are working as expected.

    My issue is with purging and preloading the entire cache for even minor css changes. For example, if I increase margin value of a div id, hardly that requires a single line change in CSS. But to get that into live site, I have to preload the entire 5000 pages. Instead, is there some way to edit those lines and save new css files in fvm/out folder with the same name.

    Hi,

    Changing CSS code is what we would call development, so it makes sense to disable FVM and empty any caches once done.

    Also, people browsers cache css files… unless you change it’s name or add a variable version at the end. That’s why, to ensure that your css code works fine, FVM needs to be purged and generate new files. Thus saving the files with the same name, it’s impossible.

    Make sure you disable FVM and cache when doing changes, then once done, purge and deploy.

    Alternatively, you could inline the css code in the header, using some other plugin or the theme options, if available.
