 * I was getting a fatal error message on my WordPress site while editing the backside
   and my host recommended that I begin disabling plugins. Turns out JetPack uses
   an enormous amount of memory. Do I need to disable this plugin or is there a 
   way to minimize the memory used by Jetpack?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fjetpack-using-too-much-memory%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, there.
 * Jetpack doesn’t usually overtax a site’s memory, and I see you’re using the free
   version, so we’re not running any backups or security scans to add to any system
   usage.
 * Did you or your host find any specific errors, logs, or clues as to why you believe
   that Jetpack is causing this memory issue? If so, and you could paste them here,
   we would be happy to help try and identify some problems within those.

 * It’s been one week since this topic was last updated. I’m going to mark this 
   thread as solved. If you have any further questions or need some more help, you’re
   welcome to open another thread here. Cheers!
