![]() ![]() You’re looking at 5,000 files and about 1GB per website! Going WordPress MU (WordPress Multisite Network Environment), you’re using 1 WordPress install to host all your WordPress websites. If you are hosting multiple WordPress websites, you’re adding a ton of files for each WordPress installs you have.Another image compression program for WordPress that I like to use is E By reducing your overall image file size, you’re not only freeing up disk space and lowering the inode count, but you’re also making your website load faster, which is good for SEO and website usability. In addition, WP-Optimize also has the ability to compress your images in a way that does not affect quality.Run this for every website you have under your account. That should free up your database which also lowers your inode count. You can run WP-Optimize and have it scan for unneeded tables and clear them out. Some plugins don’t clean up the database and will leave data in your database tables. To my point above, check to see if the FTP account for the website and/or unused FTP accounts and delete those.Prior to deleting the WordPress website, you may want to note what the database name is in wp-config so you can check for it later. So you’ll need to check-in PHPMyAdmin or a database tool to see if the database is deleted. Sometimes the host’s uninstaller doesn’t delete the database automatically. This is especially true, if you removed a WordPress website. Similar to the point above, you may have unused databases for legacy sites that you removed. If you have setup a staging website and no longer need it, you may want to remove that as well. If you have old legacy websites that are no longer being used, connected to a domain or add-on domain, you may want to consider removing them to free up your inode count. You could use the host’s backup feature if it has one or manually backup your account via FTP and PHPMyAdmin for the database. Before proceeding, make a backup of your server. So with that in mind, if you’re reaching your inode count for your account, here are some ways to reduce the inode count. Most people will not reach their inode count unless they start having large websites filled with huge file size media, host multiple websites under a single account, or have a lot of emails (especially true if your domain email comes free with a hosting account). So the number of files, folders, and the size of the files adds up to the inode count. ![]() ![]() I like to think of inode as a way for linux systems to measure disk space. When it comes to using shared hosting accounts such as Bluehost, SiteGround, or GoDaddy there’s more to watch out for than just your bandwidth (amount of visitors visiting your website per hour) and server space. ![]()
