Tenho uma loja online em PrestaShop que, sem motivo aparente, passou a consumir dezenas de GB no servidor, sobretudo em /var/cache/dev. Esse crescimento vem acompanhado de avisos PHP ligados a templates / cache do tema e de alguns módulos, além de perceptível queda de desempenho na loja. Preciso de uma análise técnica completa que encontre e corrija a causa-raiz — não quero apenas limpar a pasta manualmente. Não tenho certeza se prefiro ferramentas específicas, portanto pode usar o que considerar mais eficaz. O que observo: • Modo debug/dev pode estar ativo sem necessidade. • Os warnings PHP sugerem problemas no tema ou em módulos. • Não houve atualizações ou novas instalações antes do problema aparecer. Entrego acesso ao back-office, SSH e painel de controlo do servidor para que possa: 1. Verificar se o modo dev está ativado e desativá-lo, quando apropriado. 2. Analisar caches, logs e ficheiros temporários e identificar processos ou módulos que os geram em excesso. 3. Localizar e corrigir warnings ou notices PHP no tema e nos módulos. 4. Investigar se tráfego automático (bots) está a amplificar o problema. 5. Otimizar configurações de cache, logs e desempenho para evitar recorrência. 6. Documentar cada ajuste realizado e propor boas práticas de manutenção. Após a intervenção, espero que a utilização de espaço volte ao normal, que não existam novos avisos PHP no log e que a loja carregue sem quedas de desempenho.

Olá, Percebo o sintoma oculto aqui: não é apenas “cache a crescer”, é muito provavelmente um ciclo de geração de ficheiros dev/cache alimentado por warnings no tema ou módulos, e isso está a degradar espaço, logs e performance em cadeia. Já trabalhei em lojas PrestaShop com comportamentos semelhantes e consigo atacar a causa-raiz, não só limpar /var/cache/dev. Vou analisar back-office, SSH e servidor para confirmar se o modo dev está ativo, identificar o componente que está a gerar cache/temporários em excesso, corrigir notices/warnings PHP no tema e módulos, e validar se bots ou tráfego automático estão a amplificar o problema. Também vou otimizar cache, logs e configurações de desempenho para evitar recorrência. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Se fizer sentido, posso começar com uma auditoria rápida do estado atual e entregar um relatório claro com os ajustes aplicados, evidências do que causava o crescimento e recomendações práticas de manutenção. Poderia confirmar a versão do PrestaShop e do PHP, e se prefere que eu priorize primeiro a correção do erro de cache/log ou a otimização de desempenho global da loja? Sincerely, Asad

Hi, this PrestaShop cache and PHP warning issue suggests a critical risk in cache management and module-level error handling impacting store performance. I usually structure investigations by isolating cache layers and pinpointing error sources through detailed log and code analysis, ensuring no superficial fixes. My experience with Custom Feature Development & Integration involved deep codebase reviews and precise bug fixes in PHP systems, which aligns well with your need to identify root causes rather than manual cleanup. I approach architecture by separating cache management from runtime error handling, enabling targeted optimizations and stable production behavior. While my core expertise lies in AI and orchestration, I apply rigorous debugging and documentation practices that ensure long-term maintainability and clear operational guidelines. I can outline a diagnostic plan covering cache analysis, error tracing, and traffic pattern assessment, and propose configuration improvements to prevent recurrence. Thanks, Hercules

Hi, I can perform a full technical analysis of your PrestaShop store and fix the root cause of the excessive server space usage, PHP warnings, and performance drop instead of only deleting the cache folder. I have strong experience with PHP, PrestaShop, eCommerce debugging, cache issues, theme and module conflicts, server logs, SSH analysis, and performance optimization. My process will start by checking whether debug or dev mode is active, reviewing /var/cache/dev, logs, cron jobs, theme templates, module errors, and server resource usage to identify what is continuously generating files or warnings. Once the source is found, I will correct the PHP notices or warnings, adjust cache and log settings, check for bot traffic or repeated automated requests, disable unnecessary dev behavior, and optimize the store so the issue does not return. I will also verify that the shop loads normally after the fix and that no new warnings are flooding the logs. You will receive clear documentation of what was found, what was changed, and maintenance recommendations. Best, Justin

Hi, you’ll get a fully stabilized PrestaShop environment where the root cause of the uncontrolled disk growth is identified and permanently fixed, not just cleaned up temporarily. I understand the issue is specifically centered around /var/cache/dev growth combined with PHP warnings from theme and module templates, which strongly points to misconfigured dev mode, cache invalidation loops, or modules generating excessive compile/cache artifacts. I recently handled a zero-downtime Magento migration where cache instability and logging overflow were causing similar performance degradation across a live storefront. I’ll start by isolating whether dev mode is incorrectly enabled, then trace the exact source of cache generation inside Symfony/PrestaShop layers, including template recompilation, module hooks, and any PHP warnings causing repeated cache writes. I’ll also audit bot traffic patterns, logging verbosity, and server-level cron or worker processes that may be amplifying filesystem growth. Once identified, I’ll stabilize cache configuration, suppress recurring warnings at the source, and harden performance settings to prevent regression. What PrestaShop version are you currently running, and has the server recently changed PHP version or OPcache configuration before this issue started? Best Regards, Fizza

Olá, isso está bem alinhado com o tipo de intervenção em infra e performance que eu costumo fazer: mais do que “apagar a pasta dev”, a ideia é entender por que o cache disparou, corrigir a causa‑raiz e deixar a loja estável de novo. Pelo que descreve, é bem provável que haja uma combinação de modo dev ativo, configuração de cache/Smarty não ideal e algum tema ou módulo a gerar avisos PHP e recompilações em excesso, o que faz a pasta var/cache/dev crescer rapidamente e afeta o desempenho. Eu começaria por confirmar o estado do modo dev e das opções de desempenho no back‑office, depois analisaria logs e o conteúdo do cache para identificar exatamente que ficheiros estão a explodir e que módulo/tema está por trás, corrigindo avisos PHP e ajustando a estratégia de cache em vez de só limpar. Também posso verificar se há tráfego automático ou bots a amplificar o problema e, no fim, deixar tudo documentado: o que foi alterado, como monitorizar, e um conjunto de boas práticas de manutenção para evitar que volte a acontecer. Best, Alex
