 * Hello Bill,
    I’m getting this message >>
 * Stop Bad Bots Plugin Warning: Your server running Low Memory !
    Please, check
   Dashboard => Stop Bad Bots => (tab) Memory Checkup
 * but in Memory Checkup it’s 34MB (Your usage now: 34MB).. normally it is (33 to
   34MB) every time I check..
 * Current memory WordPress Limit: 96MB
    Total Server Memory: 256MB
 * not sure what’s wrong here, maybe a false warning ?!

 * Hi Oneray,
 * I don’t think is false alarm. I believe you have peak of memory usage.
 * Please, try to increase your wordpress memory to 256Mb, then, let me know if 
   fix the issue.
 * You need edit your wp-config.php file and update this row:
 * from:
 * define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘**96M**‘);
    to define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘**256M**‘);
 * **Increase the WP Memory Limit is a standard practice in WordPress and you find
   instructions also in the official WordPress documentation (Increasing memory 
   allocated to PHP).**

 * well, just increased to 128M, and the message is gone.. so I guess StopBadBots
   is using a lot of resources ?
 * if so, can you please fix it in the next update ?!
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * I suggest to you increase to 256M. Have no cost to you.
 * **We don’t use more resources then necessary** but if you have many plugins loaded,
   a complex theme (not wordpress twenty sixteen), many images and a lot of bots
   visiting your site and tryng to open many pages at same time, that can use a 
   lot of resources.
 * Anyway, i’m happy you are aware of your memory management now.
 * Increase the WP Memory Limit is a standard practice in WordPress. You find instructions
   also in the official WordPress documentation (Increasing memory allocated to 
   PHP).
