I'm testing some small LESS changes in my theme. After every change I delete the contents inside:

pub/static/frontend/mytheme

pub/static/frontend/mytheme, and

var/view_preprocessed

var/view_preprocessed

Then I reload my site and the contents of var/view_processedvar/view_processed (css and source folders) are not created so the new LESS changes aren't applied. However the site loads fine with the previous LESS settings.

After visiting 10-15 pages the css and source folders are created again and I can see my changes finally.

I constantly delete the Magento cache so thats not the issue. I've also set Firefox and Chrome to not save cookies, history, etc. Permissions have been set to 777777 to discard that possible cause.

Why dont the contents of var/view_preprocessedvar/view_preprocessed folder get created right after the first reloading of my site?
