How to Clean Server Cache in Cloudways Hosting
It is important that you always keep track of your server health for your applications to run as intended. Cleaning your server cache is one way to ensure that your applications work with ease. Here is a quick guide to help you clean your server cache in Cloudways Hosting.
Optimizing your server disk space
One quick way to clean your server cache is to optimize your server so that it does not lag or underperform. If you have multiple servers then you may have to optimize all of them. Just follow these quick steps.
1. Log in to your Cloudways Hosting account and navigate to your servers. You can do this by moving to the menu at the top and clicking servers. This will give you a list of servers and you can choose the one you wish to optimize.
2. Proceed to the server management tab after you choose the server that you wish to clear the cache. Click on settings and packages and choose the optimization tab.
3. Optimize the server using the disk cleanup optimization feature. With this feature, you can choose a number of customization that will help you clear the server cache all at once. For example, you can choose to remove files and archives from one particular folder or from different folders. If you do not highlight any option, then the default operation will continue.
4. Set up automatic disk cleanup optimization. Your Cloudways Hosting account will clean up your server cache by default when the main disk reaches a usage of more than 80%. However, you can also customize this feature by following these steps:
- Use the custom cleanup options to set how you want the automatic cleanup to operate
- Ensure that the automatic disk cleanup option is on
- Save all these changes
5. Run the disk cleanup. At this point, you can run the disk cleanup feature to clean your server’s cache. You can run the on-demand disk cleanup optimization or you can set up the automatic feature to ensure that your server cache is always clean. Just be sure to input the settings that you desire for maximum optimization.
