WP-Memory-Usage

Beschreibung

WP-Memory-Usage is a lightweight but powerful WordPress plugin that monitors and displays memory usage directly in your WordPress admin area.
This tool is essential for site administrators and developers who need to keep an eye on the memory consumption of their WordPress installation, helping to identify potential issues and optimize performance.

Was das Plugin anzeigt:

In der Admin-Fußzeile (auf jeder Admin-Seite):
* Aktueller Speicherverbrauch vs. WordPress-Limit (mit Prozentwert)
* Aktueller Speicherverbrauch vs. PHP-Limit (mit Prozentwert)
* Server-IP-Adresse und Servername
* PHP-Version

In the Dashboard widget („Memory Overview“):
* PHP version, architecture (32/64 bit), max execution time
* WordPress memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT), WordPress admin limit (WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT), PHP memory limit
* Current peak memory usage with a visual progress bar (colour-coded: green / orange / red)
* Link to the Threshold Alerts settings page

Memory Alerts Tabs (since 2.0.0):
Log events, set thresholds (Warning / Danger / Critical), monitor memory usage…

Warum WP-Memory-Usage nutzen?

Übermäßiger Speicherverbrauch führt zu langsameren Websites, HTTP-500-Fehlern und fehlgeschlagenen Hintergrundaufgaben (Cron, Importe, Backups). WP-Memory-Usage gibt Ihnen die Informationen, die Sie benötigen, um zu handeln, bevor Besucher betroffen sind – ohne Sie mit Benachrichtigungen zu überhäufen.

FAQ

Wo wird der Speicherverbrauch angezeigt?

The plugin shows memory information in three places: in the WordPress dashboard as a „Memory Overview“ widget, in the admin footer on every backend page and in detail at the plugins tabs.

Welche Informationen zeigt das Plugin an?

The plugin shows the PHP version, operating system, WordPress and PHP memory limits, current memory usage (in MB and as a percentage), as well as the server IP address and PHP max execution time.

Wie finde ich heraus, welche Anfrage am meisten Speicher verbraucht?

Switch on the logging options in the plugins tabs and measure the memory consumption. the Digests tab will show you the memory-hungry requests. Then you might switch off plugins to see the difference.

Funktioniert das Plugin mit WordPress Multisite?

Ja.

I originally found this becuase I was trying to monitor memory usage to help diagnose poor site performance. It works well for that. However, it also has a tab with a lot of other statistics and it was some of these that helped me track down some opcache issues. Site load times went from TTFB of about 2.25s to 0.6s after tuning! I am very thankful for this plugin, you should give it a try if you are trying to get some very useful stats. The inclusion of an AI prompt is also very nice as it might help you figure out what the numbers are telling you.

Plugin is reporting 2MB php memory when all other tools, including my host, reports 2GB. This typo is preventing me from getting some other plugin support.
