If you’re looking for more information on what’s called _warehouse_ aka remote resources, @willwood has a free book he posted a couple years ago. Although a couple years old everything still applies.

> A free Christmas gift that keeps on giving! File warehousing has been a hot-topic in recent years and I’m often asked questions about it. So I decided to put together a short(ish) eBook on the subject. [Direct Download (4.5MB)](https://themeflood.s3.amazonaws.com/ebooks/rapidweaver-file-warehousing.pdf) This guide talks about what warehousing is and how you could potentially benefit from utilising the technique in your projects. It shows you how to create a simple warehouse directory in your preferred FTP software and also discusses how to optimise files ready for use. M…

RapidWeaver’s resources **used to be** very unreliable, so the whole concept of using _direct URL’s to link to images_(somehow got the name warehoused) became popular.

Part of RapidWeaver 8 was a total rewrite of the recourse management process. I’ve found it to be very stable as long as you ensure the option in the advanced settings are set to `make document portable`(prior to 8.1) or  
`Site Resources: Copy into Document `(8.1 beta).

Something to keep in mind about “warehoused” resources, you’re using an absolute URL to every resource. If you change the URL (eg. add SSL) you’ll need to change the link addresses for every resource, every single place it’s referenced.

The real culprit in your case was _Clean My Mac_. Most all of these cleaning utilities cause all kinds of problems and should never be installed.
