Title: Anyone else having CPU and Memory usage problems Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Anyone else having CPU and Memory usage problems * [socialdzine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/socialdzine/) * (@socialdzine) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/) * I’m down to my theme, the theme page builder plugin and my evanto plugin updater and my memory is still shooting through the roof. I had 5 other plugins on my site that I used and have since deleted them and still have the memory issue. My site got suspended because of it. Worse is that I’m working on 4 other sites for clients and they have had the same issue over the past 30-45 days. * It’s not the theme because all 4 sites are having the issue and the only thing left on the sites is the theme and they can’t all be bad. Each theme is premium and updated often. * ANYONE considering that WordPress is causing the memory issue? * I’m about switch to a bare minimum theme in a second and if the memory is still soaring then I have my answer. I just find it funny that ever site (different themes, different hosts, different plugins) are all having the same issue.

Maybe one of the articles in [this search](https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=wordpress%20high%20memory%20usage) will help narrow it down. * [doubleedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doubleedesign/) * (@doubleedesign) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262868) * Have you updated WordPress, all themes and plugins or are you running some old versions. * Thread Starter [socialdzine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/socialdzine/) * (@socialdzine) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262901) * yes, I’m running current versions of everything. That’s where the process of elimination came in. Down to bare bones and still having the issue on 5 sites. Different hosts, different themes. SAME ISSUE * [doubleedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doubleedesign/) * (@doubleedesign) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262926) * Are you getting an error message? If so, what is it? * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262927) * What happens if you disable the remaining plugins on one of the sites? Does that fix the issue? * [delahoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delahoc/) * (@delahoc) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262928) * This may be related. Since upgrading to 4.5 the theme customiser crashes on at least some themes. On the WP Simple theme is crashes with: * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 49152 bytes) in /wp1/wp-admin/menu.php on line 97 * Didn’t happen under the old version. Quite a serious error for a new release IMHO. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262929) * [@delahoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delahoc/): your issue is not related, and you’re wasting people’s time by jumping other threads with your issue. * Out of memory errors are common and are host-related: [https://wordpress.org/search/Fatal+error%3A+Allowed+memory+size?forums=1](https://wordpress.org/search/Fatal+error%3A+Allowed+memory+size?forums=1) * See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP) * [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-7262930) * Well, my blog uses this on the front-end: Memory used: 25,690,112 bytes. Peak Memory used: 25,690,112 bytes. * This on the admin dashboard: Memory used: 29,097,984 bytes. Peak Memory used: 29,097,984 bytes. * I use this bit of code: * ``` ########################################################################################### function memory_stats() { // BEGIN function memory_stats echo '

Memory used: '. number_format(memory_get_usage(true)). ' bytes.
'; echo 'Peak Memory used: '. number_format(memory_get_peak_usage(true)).' bytes.

'; } // END function memory_stats add_action('in_admin_footer', 'memory_stats'); ``` * You can call **memory_stats()** somewhere in your theme’s footer.php to see what the front-end uses. I did happen to notice with my blog that after the webhost updated to PHP 5.4, it used much less memory than it had been. * [vitop70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vitop70/) * (@vitop70) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-8388868) * Sorry, but could you explain me where did you post taht code? im having the same problem Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Anyone else having CPU and Memory usage problems’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [memory usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/memory-usage/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 9 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [vitop70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vitop70/) * Last activity: [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-else-having-cpu-and-memory-usage-problems/#post-8388868) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
