What does the number mean?

    I installed this plugin in my site and saw in admin footer

    Memory: 6 of 128 MB (5%) | WP LIMIT: 40 MB

    The number changes everytime refreshing the page, but all less than 10. Meantime, I was monitoring apache memory usage and saw httpd cost average 80m, the minimal one is 20m.

    I am confused, thought the plugin would show memory usage of this site or server, wouldn’t it? Did I miss something simple?

    PS: my server hosts only this one site

    Hi Edward,

    We get the memory information from the PHP function: memory_get_peak_usage (function.memory-get-peak-usage.

    The function memory_get_peak_usage (PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7) returns the peak of memory allocated by PHP.

    So this is not the Apache memory used, but the memory usage of PHP.

    Thanks for your reply, so it is PHP memory usage of current (admin) page, right?

    Hi Edward,

    It’s not the PHP memory usage of the current admin page, but the total PHP memory usage of the WordPress installation (Web and Admin Area).

    Best regards from Spain.
