Unfortunately we experience exact same problem with latest Umbraco 11 website. Most of the time the bundles are ok, but then all of a sudden (randomly it seems) our site looks rediculous because some files in js and css aren't included anymore. When we restart app pool it is solved again. Hopefuly someone has a solution to this annoying problem...
I am experiencing this headache as well with Umbraco 12.3.6. I would love to know what your steps/process was to replace Smidge with WebOptimizer.
If I have to upgrade to Umbraco 13, that will involve moving up to .Net Core 8 which opens a can of worms with my API Service and hosting provider. And I don't have any guarantee that this same issue could still occur as I have found numerous references to this exact bug going back to v7.
Randomly no JS and/or complete CSS on site with Smidge helper
Hi,
We use Smidge helper on several of our Umbraco 9 and 10 sites with Igloo.
After app pool recycle the CSS and/or JS are sometimes not loaded correctly (missing, or not all CSS contained).
When we recycle the app pool, they suddenly work again (no code changes).
It seems to happen randomly, we found no pattern in this behaviour.
We have this on our test and production servers and on several sites.
Does anyone have an idea what goes wrong and how to solve this? Or is this know bug?
Thanks :)
P.S. The Smidge helper is used like this:
Hi Vincent,
Can you check what settings you are using for Smidge in appsettings.json - "RuntimeMinification" section? Try to experiment with settings. Documentation is here - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Configuration/RuntimeMinificationSettings/
Thanks, Alex
Hi Alex,
Thank you for your advice.
We currently have the following settings:
We will try to change these values to see if this solves the issue.
Hi Vincent
Did you ever manage to get rid of this issue? Facing similar problems and our next step would be an upgrade of the core...

Too bad no one seems to have this problem or now any solutions. Guess we have to use an alternative for bundling css/scripts...
Perhaps we will be lucky in a next version that it will be sorted out.
We ended up getting Smidge entirely from our sites and replacing it with WebOptimizer.
Randomly messing up sites (suddenly a broken js or css bundle) was a no-go for us. Also smidge cache folder got way too big after a while.
With WebOptimizer there doesn't seem to be any problems no more.
