The way P3/PHP works will consume large amounts of memory for short periods of time for very complex sites. P3 pulls a backtrace (a snapshot of the program execution stack) and analyzes it. This is a very big chunk of memory. When P3 is done, the memory is freed up. This happens over and over several thousand times in a row and can hit PHP’s memory limit on complex sites, though. * I also recommend these other profiling plugins: * [https://wpperformanceprofiler.interconnectit.com/](https://wpperformanceprofiler.interconnectit.com/) [https://github.com/dannyvankooten/wp-plugin-profiler](https://github.com/dannyvankooten/wp-plugin-profiler) [https://github.com/Rarst/laps](https://github.com/Rarst/laps) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] I'm unable to desactivate this plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-unable-to-desactivate-this-plugin/) * Plugin Contributor [asink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asink/) * (@asink) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-unable-to-desactivate-this-plugin/#post-6127540) * In the future, you can try the emergency shutoff switch.

Have you tried disabling plugins one at a time and see if performance improves? If that makes no impact, try running a test with one of the default twenty _____ themes. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] Got error after scan is done](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-error-after-scan-is-done/) * Plugin Contributor [asink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asink/) * (@asink) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-error-after-scan-is-done/#post-6108021) * If you get this error when you’re actively profiling, that’s not uncommon. P3 should be smart enough to turn itself off, though. It uses a lot of memory while scanning, because of how debug backtraces work in PHP. * If you get this error when you’re not actively profiling, then you’re probably very close to your memory limit without P3 and P3 just nudges it over. It’s been optimized to be light on memory when it’s active, but not profiling. * This question from P3’s FAQ should help: * Help! I used P3 and now my site is down! First, get your site back up!

A series of snapshots taken over time give the most reliable picture of performance. There are many factors that can influence the results. I would recommend taking several other measurements at various times to establish a more reliable baseline. It may be server load/ number of visitors are impacting the results. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] Plugin crashed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashed-1/) * Plugin Contributor [asink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asink/) * (@asink) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashed-1/#post-5967597) * Have you tried removing P3 and re-installing it?
