 * My website is returning the error 500, so I contacted my hosting provider and
   they said this is because my website exhausted all the memory allocated to it
   and it failed to create child process
    Because the server is not configured to
   go beyond the maximum allow resource limits, they said The scripts or plugins
   that were used are the ones consuming a lot of resources or even crawlers error.
   So how will I increase my memory

 * It’s dependent what your webhosting allowed to the customers. Mostly you can 
   change the memory limits in DirectAdmin, C-Panel or Plesk. For example when you
   change the PHP version from default to PHP 7.1 or something like that (be sure
   you made a back-up and your website (theme + plugins) is compatible with PHP 
   7.1)

 * `So how will I increase my memory`
 * just go for a hosting plan with more memory.
