Q) How much physical RAM has been assigned to PHP?
Check by running php_info() and look at “memory_limit”. (mine says: 128M) Adjust with a php.ini or .htaccess setting.
Q) How much of that PHP memory has been assigned to WordPress?
Check by looking at Admin page > WooCommerce > System Status > WP Memory Limit (mine says 128M – can’t be bigger that PHP memory!)
Alter with:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
in wp-config.php.
I have a slightly smaller list of plugins than you, so try 256M if possible.
There could be other reasons why your site is slow but memory is a good place to start.

hi thanx for the reply
my ram is 1gb and the meomroy assigned to php in wordpress is 64mb still the speed of my site is slow dont know whats the reason is this issue with woocommerce
You don’t assign memory to php in WordPress. Memory is assigned to php by php.ini or .htaccess. Find out how much is available by running php_info(). Edit php.ini or .htaccess to increase the amount. Your host may be able to help with this step.
I think you mean 64M of php memory has been assigned to WordPress. My site wouldn’t work with 64M. Find out how much memory is available to php and assign that much to WordPress in wp-config.wp. Try for 256M in both php and WordPress.
If the site is still slow, there are other things to do.

Need some more info to be able to advise.
Please make a plain text file called test.php in your WordPress root. The file should contain:
<?php phpinfo();
run it by putting the url in your browser:
http://www.my-domain-name.com/test.php
What does it say against “memory_limit” ?
Please post the url to your site.
