Small files take up ridiculous amounts of space

I've setup a little server with Ubuntu. It has 2 SSDs configured in RAID1 using EXT4.



The server has a lot of websites on it: WordPress, Magento and the likes, which amount to a lot of small files.



If I look at a random WordPress folder, its size is 75.2 MB, but the disk use is 4.12 GB.



I must have done something terribly wrong when setting up the server, but I'm completely lost as to what.

    How are you determining the "size" and the "disk use"? Please be specific and edit your question to include this information.
