Wordpress LScache Plugin: Minification Crashes Server
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 When I enable CSS and JS minification, my server stops responding and crashes within a few minutes. When viewing the process list in the Linux console, I can see a large number of Litespeed processes starting up right before the crash. I also see a ton of 500 errors in my access log: 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/311c0.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/43e16.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/3bcc5.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/a747f.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/5b7ca.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/c7082.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/bea9e.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/4dd3b.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/428ed.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/5cb44.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/67bc0.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/eb451.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/e466a.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/98451.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/757cd.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/e0f1c.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/341e5.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/746ba.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:34 -0700] GET /min/27310.css HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 8.38.37.254 - - [26/Sep/2018:13:57:35 -0700] GET /min/696e3.js HTTP/1.1 500 - https://www.prescientrading.com/prescientrader/ Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_14) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Safari/605.1.15 Expand This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by Steven Stern (sterndata).
