WordPress Daily Routine

WordPress runs out of memory, causing errors or slow performance.

Memory Limit Too Low

Key Points: Site breaks or slows down under load due to low PHP memory allocation.

You install a theme, upload an image, or just open the Customizer — and WordPress faints. White screen, fatal error, or random crashing. Sounds like it hit the memory ceiling.

🚫 Common Symptoms

• White Screen of Death (WSOD)
• “Allowed memory size exhausted” errors
• Admin panel loading endlessly

🛠️ Increase the Limit

1. Edit wp-config.php:

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

2. Or update php.ini:

   memory_limit = 256M

3. For stubborn hosts, ask support to increase it on the server level

💡 Good Practice

Don’t just raise the limit forever — track down what’s eating memory. Heavy page builders, image processors, or plugin loops are common culprits.
