Jetpack and its insane memory consumption

    Hey there,

    I’m loving to use Jetpack because of lots of comfy functions (like the statistics, the comments etc.) but using it has a heavy impact on loading time and (what is even worse) eats up lots of the memory which results in a white screen of death (with the fatal error message due to lack of php memory), so I have to rename the plugin, reload the site and rename it back to make the dashboard work again.

    So my “question” is not really a question but a plea to program Jetpack in a more memory-friendly way.

    Yes, I’ve increased my memory_limit to 128M, i tested all possibilities, but it should be enough, I think? Why not program some kind of a “memory outsorcing” which kinda caches the php memory load in some way?

    One of our active projects is to overall improve the performance of Jetpack (front-end loading, memory usage, etc).

    Our “standard” advice would apply—if there are any modules that you’re not using, deactivating them will help.

    I’d think that 128M would be enough generally, but does depend on what other plugins are present and your theme’s footprint too.

    In short, we’re working to improve Jetpack behind the scenes.

    Jetpack is huge resources consumer. The CPU usage is huge.
    We experience server issues due to some of plugins, like all-in-one SEO, wordfence and recently discovered that after the last Jetpack update,the CPU goes crazy, for the past 2-3 weeks, the server CPU usage has so high peaks that we need to putt it offline.
    The highest peaks are for the admin log in php, like the admin-ajax.php function is called in endless loops.
    If is not the Jetpack, what can be? all-in-one SEO was disabled by most of the users, wordfence too. Yet the admin log in page has the highest CPU usage. The I/O resources are the most consumed for this page.
    We may need to shut down the sever and get out of business for good because of…word press.
    Any solutions or ideas would be great!

    Hi Xanadu,

    I haven’t seen that myself, but if you have any additional information on what admin-ajax.php calls are peaking your CPU usage, I’m more than happy to look into that specifically.

    Thanks.
