CSS Bundle Similar Size Files

I set up a replica server. Same configuration, both generate different size CSS bundles.

Removed Advagg, re-installed and still no luck.

It appears when you turn it on first time, it picks up a logic and sticks with it.

I am this close to ditching Drupal after 12 years due to how critical Advagg is and how unreliable it is.

Update:

Replica site shows 156 bundler groupings. Production sites show 86 bundler groupings. They have exactly same codebase.

This seems like an abandoned project. I would highly advise against using Advagg on production sites as it's extremely unreliable out of box and by the sheer amount of unanswered support queries, it seems it has been abandoned.

Anyone with same issue, your only option seems like using Drupal Add Js to manually balance the aggregates by trial and error.

// loading font awesome separately to get it into aggregates

drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('theme', 'mytheme') . '/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css');

Day job is C# for me these days. Anyway advagg bundler works based off the pages hit; crawl your test environment and it'll mimic production. Css/js can be added to any page in drupal in various ways. There's no way to know how the assets will be added in what order. That's a limit of D7. It has to be added and then advagg can learn and react to it.

There's a hook in the bundler that'll allow you to modify what you need. The current way is the bundler tries to have equal number of files in each bundle. Due to minification and gzip it's hard to predict file size after the fact

Thanks.

After few hours and trial and error, disabling and enabling the base Bootstrap theme fixed it in an instant. Not sure how it was affecting aggregate generation but all good now.
