 * This is not really support issue
    What does this data means? Memory: 10 of 2048
   MB (0%) | WP LIMIT: 40 MB What does the 2048 stands for? Server memory? If VPS
   has 8GB RAM ande has one heavy Woocommerce site which data should I want to see
   here? If site consumes 10MB according to plugin, That means it does not really
   needs 8GB server memory?

 * Hi [@prixer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prixer/),
 * The 2048 stands for the [memory limit](https://www.php.net/manual/es/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit)
   of this webspace. Normally you configure it in the PHP settings of the webspace.
 * We get the memory limit with the standard PHP function `ini_get('memory_limit')`.
 * If you have 8GB RAM and there is only this webspace on the server you can increase
   the memory limit in the server configuration up to 6GB or 7GB.
 * What you should do is [increase the WordPress Memory Limit](https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#increasing-memory-allocated-to-php).
   You are using the default limit of 40MB. It’s not clear what this memory limit
   does when there is a much higher memory limit, but just in case we would increase
   it to the same limit as the memory limit.
 * > WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option allows you to specify the maximum amount of memory that

   > a message such as “Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted”.
 * > WordPress will automatically check if PHP has been allocated less memory than
   > the entered value before utilizing this function. For example, if PHP has been
   > allocated 64MB, there is no need to set this value to 64M as WordPress will
   > automatically use all 64MB if need be.
 * The peak memory usage in the moment the administration page where you are seeing
   this info is loaded. This should not be a direct indicator of how much memory
   your server needs. This gives you a hint if the peak memory usage is very close
   to the memory limit. In order to know the amount of memory needed you should 
   monitor the memory usage at server level for one week.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Best regards from Spain.
