Autoptimize is a popular performance plugin for WordPress. Among other features, Autoptimize creates and builds cached versions of optimized asset files descreasing page loading times.
But left unchecked, those cached files can become very large. That can slow page loading, increase web server load, and use unuecessary amounts of disk space.
This companion plugin provides a way to set the maximum allowable cache file size for your site and, if that size is exceeded, automatically clears your Autoptimize cache and allows it to rebuild itself. That’s good.

- 01Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard -> Settings -> Autoptimize Cache Settings
- 02Select from one of the available Maximum cache file size options from the select menu and press the Save Changes button
- 03Please note: You obviously must have Autoptimize plugin installed for this plugin to work
Roadmap

- Add a time based WP_Cron setting that will clear cache every few days, week, month, etc.
