Social sharing caching problem

[Spark111]

Hi,

 

In cache/smarty/cache/socialsharing_header  I have more than 1600 files and more than 13000 subdirectories.

 

I wonder if this is necessary.

Every subdirectory datestamp shows a recent update.

That amount of cached files cannot by good for speed?

 

Any clues why this is? And how to improve on this?

 

Thanks.

Anyone interested in answering?

After all I thanked in advance.

I have no idea why you'd have so many cached files in that directory. You can certainly delete any files from your cache/smarty/cache directory (except index.php) and they should be automatically regenerated. Hopefully, there will be fewer files than you have currently.

Thanks.

I did some further investigation. I measured more than 1600 files in more than 16000 folders.

Which can be accurate after all. We have just about 1600 products.

If you need to define the directory structure for product #138 you need /cache//1/3/8/

 

It's just crazy to make a cache entry for every product page, but hey, that's the smarty structure. I suppose the product id needs to be cached as well, which makes these pages unique.

 

IOW: It turned out to be a non-issue. Thanks for your reply anyway.
