Very low memory usage since PHP 7.1.x

    Since updating to some version of PHP 7.1.x (I’m not sure, I think it was after PHP 7.1.8, but I’m not completely sure), reported memory usage is very low (between 2 and 4 MB), which cannot be correct.

    On PHP 7.1.7 (?), memory usage had increased dramatically, sometimes causing OOM errors when running over the allocated 256 MB. Memory usage may have gone back, but the full WordPress core & lots of plugins won’t ever use less than 10 MB …

    Hi there,

    We get the used memory with the PHP function memory_get_peak_usage(). More info: http://php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-peak-usage.php (PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7).

    This value should reflect the memory used by WordPress. We have some WordPress running very low on memory depending of the theme and running plugins. While 2 MB seems to low, 4 or 5 could be reached.

    Nevertheless we are sorry that we can’t help you this time. The plugin uses a standard PHP function memory_get_peak_usage() and if this gives wrong values, we can’t fix it.

    Best regards from Spain.
