Each Site Manager account includes 10GB of disk space by default. If additional space is needed, you can purchase upgrades in 10GB increments for $100/year. Proper management of your disk space can help you avoid unnecessary upgrades and keep your site running efficiently.
Accessing Disk Tools
To monitor and manage disk space, navigate to:
Administration → Disk Tools
This section provides two essential tools: Image Optimization and Disk Usage.
1. Image Optimization
This tool helps reduce the space used by high-resolution images.
-
Total Uploaded Images: Shows the total number of images uploaded to your site.
-
Unoptimized Images: Lists images larger than 1600x1600 pixels, which are considered unoptimized.
-
Optimize Option: Allows you to compress or resize images directly, significantly reducing their file size without noticeable quality loss.
Recommendation: Regularly optimize uploaded images or set them to optimize upon upload to maintain a balance between visual quality and storage efficiency.
2. Disk Usage
This report provides a breakdown of how your disk space is being used:
-
Uploaded Files: PDFs, documents, and other non-image media.
-
Uploaded Images: All images uploaded to your media library.
-
Mail: Emails stored on the server (including inbox, sent, and spam).
-
System Files: Core CMS files and logs.
-
Free Space: Remaining available space out of your total quota.
Tip: Use this overview to identify the largest storage categories and areas to clean up.
Recommendations for Reducing Disk Space
To free up space without affecting your website’s functionality:
-
Delete unused mail accounts: Remove old or inactive email accounts that still store data.
-
Purge spam and trash folders: Email spam and deleted items can silently consume large amounts of space.
-
Clean out old media: Remove outdated PDFs, images, or videos that are no longer in use.
-
Archive or download backups: Transfer old backups or large files to your local machine or cloud storage, then delete them from the server.
-
Optimize images: Use the built-in optimization tool to resize and compress unnecessarily large images.
