My host ist always saving 30 days and I can do manually in addition 3. 82gb it’s a looooot 😅. But thanks for the insight 👍

[@markbratton111]

Fully agree. I have a contemporary who will have me do some WP work on his sites and he has two that give me to grief. So many backups that i get a 500 error each time i try to login. This makes me insane!

[@lukajovic5458]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I have been experiencing this problem on all websites, and I had no idea why the site was growing and slowing down every day. I tried exporting the latest version of the website backup, and when I imported that backup to another domain, the total installation size reduced from 6 GB to 300 MB. Would I solve the problem if I reset the WordPress site, which currently has a total installation size of 6 GB, and then imported that 300 MB backup? To summarize, would the site be identical, or would this change anything?

[@websquadron]

The site should stay the same but you need to check there are no other backups in the Wordpress database

[@lukajovic5458]

@@websquadron Can I do this with a plugin since I don't know how to handle databases?

[@antonichristian5845]

I'm working a 2 page website at the moment with the bare basic plugins and it's already 50mb lol Be nice if a backup plugin could use their own propriety compression algorithm and slash these sizes by half or something.

[@daedaluxe]

Most backups do export to zip files, lol.

[@antonichristian5845]

@@daedaluxe Yes but better than zip compression is what I was referring to, not sure if this is possible though.

I think I heard somewhere that Elementor is planning to build a backup/restore solution. Do you have any information about that?

Hello... Big question is it possible to put featured videos instead of featured image for posts without installing extra plugin?

[@websquadron]

Yes if you use ACF and then add a Video.

[@arindamde3022]

@@websquadron it will be great if you create a video because this is important topic

[@websquadron]

@arindamde3022 the solution is subjective to where the video is sourced from

Hey, could you do a video on the litespeed cache for sites hosted on a litespeed server - your opinion on the cache versus your current stacks ( from the 2024 optimization video like phastpress, wp meteor and your code snippets) etc.

[@websquadron]

I'd need to be on a Litespeed Server :)

I got an email from my host recently stating my directories were holding too much information. I have a reseller plan and host many sites. I couldn't think why I was getting these email all of a sudden. Then I found the backups for each site, exactly as you said, they mount up and if you don't delete them 👀 One thing that has annoyed me is I am on unlimited reseller hosting with A2 Hosting yet they are emailing me because my directories contain over 55GB of data. To offer "unlimited hosting" and then complain when it reaches a meagre 55GB I think is taking the biscuit. If they continue to complain, they will be getting the boot. They want your money, but don't like it when you actually use the "unlimited space".

[@websquadron]

They are never unlimited, and yes, I have been in that situation too when they told me that I had used 80% of my innodes, and I was like "What? Who? Where?" It's always annoying. Glad this video helped to guide you to the cause.
