I got this yourr blog post got some idea, but not able to solve it and also I would like to know more about it.
it is happening because the JS or CSS (see how many files you have in wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js vs wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css to see which one is causeing this) between two pages is different, in which case there no cached version and a new cache-file is created.
if both aggregate inline css/ js are already de-activated, the problem could be due to a plugin (or your theme) writing their own dynamic code into static (cached) files, typically in wp-content/cache (like AO does) or wp-content/uploads. have a look at your unoptimized HTML source (add ?ao_noptimize=1 to your URL to disable AO, allowing you to see the page without autoptimize), try to find such URL’s and exclude them from Autopimization.
hope this helps,

Hi Frank, thank you for your kind reply again. I will follow your suggestion and report to you. In this time, I have gone through several pages of your blog and got about these plugins, I would like to know if I should move to any of them or there is any method to allow wp super cache to clear auto optimize cache in some interval keeping its own cache file safe. Will it be harmful, is it possible?
No, you can use WP Super Cache (I do too on some of my sites), but no page caching plugin will clean Autoptimize’s cache automatically I’m afraid. There’s a plugin that claims to do that, but I haven’t tried it myself.

Thank you Frank, I gone through you blog for around 5/6 hrs and loved it. I would also like to know is there any way to separate cache generated by auto optimize from wp super cache? So that cache file related to only auto optimize will be removed and rest will remain as usual, is it possible? Will it harmful?

no, that’s not possible, as the cached pages (by WPSC) will have references (links) to autoptimized CSS/JS that would have been deleted. If you want to be able to delete the autoptimized cache (automatically), you’ll have to empty your page cache as well.
Would it work if I wrote a cron job that automatically deletes the files in the cache/css and cache/js directories that are a day old? I guess I’ll find out for myself…

Only if you make sure there is no HTML in a page cache that refers to the CSS/ JS you’re about to automatically delete. Have a look at the FAQ for more info about cache size and how to manage it.
