    I have been doing a major upgrade of a new theme and rewriting many pages recently. I use a2webhosting , and they looked at my resources and said that they were/are high and related to the fact that “The index.php WordPress core file is causing high memory usage.”

    Hi!

    What’s the size of the “high memory usage” being referred to?

    The index.php file serves as an entry point into your site, and it primary contains code required to load the WordPress environment and template. There’s nothing WP-Optimize can do to such a file.

    Any kind of memory usage anomaly in this case can only be traced back to the active theme and the kinds of query being made in the index file of such a theme (including header, footer and sidebar codes).

    To test, you can enable a default WP theme and then compare the memory usage with that of the theme that was previously installed.

    The plugins you have installed could also be another factor. Disable and/or uninstall any plugin that is not actively in use on your site.

    Hope that helps.

    Kind regards,
    Damilare.

    @deabiodun @dbur57 To see memory use on a particular page, install and activate the free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ – it shows the memory usage. Then you can deactivate plugins selectively to see how it changes.
