Wordpress LScache Plugin: When I exclude a couple of CSS files, they keep saved in cache
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello guys, I was wondering if you could help me with something. I want to take advantage of the CSS Combine feature (Combine CSS files and inline CSS code). When I enable this feature my website has a couple of problems, so I have followed the File and Exclude the Problematic Files instructions in the Troubleshooting CSS/JS Issues. But there are a couple of files that keep saved in cache. Even though, I have excluded those two files and I have purged all cache as well. The File and Exclude the Problematic Files instructions in the Troubleshooting CSS/JS Issues worked very well for me excluding the JS issues, but I haven been able to make it work for CSS, Ive tired three times. The reason I want to use both functions is that I am trying to make my website load faster. I had to disable CSS Combine function because I havent been able to exclude this CSS problematic files. I am using the TravelTour theme. Would you guys have some advice? By the way, I am not very good with coding or advance HTML, etc. Thank you in advance, This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by Josue Ardon. The page I need help with: https://mayangateway.com/ Hi, But there are a couple of files that keep saved in cache. Even though, I have excluded those two files and I have purged all cache as well. May I know what string did you put into exclude box ? Best regards, Hi, Thanks for your answer. The string of CSS files is a bit long, so I hope it is possible to paste it here: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,300italic,regular,italic,600,600italic,700,700italic,800,800italic%7CRoboto:500,400%7CRaleway:900,400&subset=cyrillic,cyrillic-ext,greek,greek-ext,latin,latin-ext,vietnamese https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/52867.css?c8f6d https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/e12e0.css?fd0fd https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/04ff7.css?751f0 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/09674.css?ef3c5 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/33f85.css?aa36d https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/e58f2.css?81940 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/40a71.css?4b57a https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/6c6ae.css?068e4 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/e30d6.css?55206 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/a22ec.css?8a525 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/49020.css?93221 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/0c662.css?319cc https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?7daa8 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?63dd5 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?f6f07 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?d109b https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?74df5 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?eb367 https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/d13dd.css?89b04 Expand The two CSS files that keep showing on cache after putting the string, and purging all cache are: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,300italic,regular,italic,600,600italic,700,700italic,800,800italic%7CRoboto:500,400%7CRaleway:900,400&subset=cyrillic,cyrillic-ext,greek,greek-ext,latin,latin-ext,vietnamese https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css Im not sure if this is what you meant? Josue Reason: Formatting Hi, these https://mayangateway.com/wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/xxxxx.css?xxxxx are file names generated by LSCWP you need to exclude it from the source file name you should get the source file name when you disable the minify/combine options. Best regards, Hi, Ive disable the CSS Combine, and get these files in order to exclude them on Tuning Settings ? CSS Excludes. Then I have purged All. After this, I have enable CSS Combine again, and got a smaller list of files which I have also excluded on Tuning Settings ? CSS Excludes (and purged all) but the problems on the website persists. These two files continue being shown in the Disk Cache even after excluding them: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,300italic,regular,italic,600,600italic,700,700italic,800,800italic%7CRoboto:500,400%7CRaleway:900,400&subset=cyrillic,cyrillic-ext,greek,greek-ext,latin,latin-ext,vietnamese https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css Is this what am I suppose to be doing in this case? The problems only appear when I enable the CSS Combine setting, so I have disabled it, and my website works fine. However, I would like to take advantage of this setting to improve speed. Best wishes, Reason: Formatting Hi, please try this after you enable CSS combine 1. disable combine inline and external , purge all , see how it goes 2. if 1) is still no good , then put wp-content wp-includes into the CSS exclude list, purge all , and see how it goes Best regards, Hi, The option 1 didnt work, but Option 2 did work. Thank you for your help. Best wishes, Hi, okay , that means the CSS in question is within wp-content and wp-includes now you can try only put wp-content into exclude list if that still works , you can further narrow it down to wp-content/plugins and wp-content/themes , to narrow it down within plugins and themes then you can keep narrow it down until you find the final file name. Best regards, Hi, I appreciate that. I was able to narrow it down to wp-content/plugins. I guess this is the final file name, and that would be all I am supposed to do right? Best wishes, Hi, no , there should be some directory inside of /wp-content/plugins , and you can repeat the above process to further narrow it down to which directly it was Best regards, Hi, Understood, I have already done it and found the plugin. It is one of the themes plugins: wp-content/plugins/goodlayers-core Thank you for your assistance.
