How to delete WordPress FVM Cache?

Fast Velocity Minify, also referred to as FVM, is a free WordPress plugin. It is a plugin for developers and advanced users to optimize speed. Combining JavaScript and CSS files minimizes HTTP requests. Furthermore, it uses PHP Minify to minify JS and CSS files.

On the frontend, minification starts with the first uncached request. The static JS or CSS file generated earlier can be reused by other pages that require the same set of JS and CSS files after the processing of the initial request.

Additionally, a growing cache shows that the JS or CSS files are dynamic and change with each pageview. Now, to prevent the cache from growing indefinitely, we must add the JS or CSS file to the ignore list.

These WP-CLI commands, according to our Support Techs, will be useful in such circumstances:

• On a network website, clear all caches by typing wp -url=blog.sample.com for purge.

• Purge all caches with wp fvm

• On the network as a whole, clear all caches (linux): wp site list –field=url | xargs -n1 -I % wp –url=% fvm purge

How can the cache path be modified?

To store and serve minified cache files, we need a public directory. By making the following additions to the wp-config.php file, we can modify the path and URL:

define('FVM_DIR', '/path/to/example.com/your/public/directory'); 
define('FVM_URL', 'https://example.com/your/public/directory');
