Cart files *are* the session data for your si=te. As ken suggests, looking through the logs to try and notice what is bei=ng hit often (and by whom) may be your best bet to stop unnecessary session= file creation. If you are not getting thousands of orders per day, the hit=s are likely a tenacious bot.=A0It may be as simple as adding a disallow in your robots.txt file... Or, you= may want to hide cart creation from bot user agents (or IP's) entirely= (see shopping in the docs for reference to the cart tags on what to hide).=Donovan

Until a month ago it was common to have about 25,000 cart files a=dded to the folder over a 24 hour period. Now we are getting 500,000 cart f=iles being created in a 24 hour period. There is a noticeable slowdown if t=he files are not frequently removed, but removal results in the loss of car=t files that have not been modified in the past 24 hours. This is not due t=o an increase in traffic because analytics shows only a small increase (~10=%) in visitors.I have set up a cron job to manage the files for now, b=ut I'd appreciate any suggestions on what may be the cause of this incr=ease and how I might stop it. The vast majority of the files appear to have= no real content (no item added to the cart). I am not familiar with how th=ese files are created, but I assume it is a type of session control and is =being handled by WebDNA. I can't find any evidence that our code could =be creating the files.=A0Thanks in advance,=A0Daniel Meola <=span style=3D"font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:c=ollapse">301-486-0901
