[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] maxcdn – after a while, default .css and .js files are empty

  • First, love the potential time saving of this plug-in…Soon it’ll be a must-have.

    – I had both default .css and .js configured for CDN and working fine, but after a day or so they were empty at the CDN site, (clicked on the link and no CDN content) and the web site was messed up with no .css

    Could it be that when the wordpress server is super busy, the plugin (or CDN) may not be able to update CDN files, and instead of leaving things as they are, it flushes the content?

    – Both .css and .js are script generated and in use for more than a year.

    – The site images are also on CDN, and seemed like they were not impacted. (the messed up site showing all images correctly)

  • You should check your server to be sure it’s producing the minify file for the CDN to copy. If for some reason there was an issue created the minfiied files on your server and one of the files was empty for some reason, the CDN would also copy that empty file.

    – The wordpress server producing minify file is working fine.

    – I think what’s happening is as we experiment with the CSS minify settings, many versions of default.include.css are put on the CDN servers – and one may not know which one of those will be used next, (unlike one version on wordpress server). I went to maxcdn dashboard and purged all files, and things seems to be OK now.

    – My problem was that a new CDN .CSS would get generated and work for some time but after a while this .CSS file gets replaced with an older broken .css file as I switch – disable all caching functionality – on/off, or just after a while.

    – Perhaps W3 Total Cache can detect changes in .css/.js and CDN enabled, then warn that – You may need to purged files (.css/.js) from CDN provider as well.

    For now you should disable CDN while testing, then enable CDN and check again. If all is not ok purge those files. Future releases will remove this issue completely.

    And please contact us at MaxCDN ( support (at) maxcdn (dot) com ) if you’re still having any issues.

    Realizing now that this issue cannot occur in more recent versions due to a number of fundamental changes in minification.
