Title: Run out memory problems Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Run out memory problems * [wkk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkk/) * (@wkk) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/) * Hello, * I’m experiment run out memory problems in my web since I 1st installed wordfence plugin. I’m hosting my web in 000webhost wich has a memory limit of 64MB (it’s the free service). * I’m using wordpress with neuro theme and with following plugins: akismet all- in-one-seo-pack google-calendar-events wordfence (now deactivated) * Is this enough to reach 64MB of memory limit? I think I use very few pluggins but I want to be sure before complaining to hosting service. So if somebody could tell me how much memory (aprox) uses this wordpress set-up, it would be very useful to me. * Thank you very much in advance. * Best regards.

It depends upon too many other factors. * Thread Starter [wkk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkk/) * (@wkk) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881164) * Well I don’t need an accurate answer, just the worst case should be enough to know in wich range of memory use I’m working. * Or another aproximation could be to know how many scripts of this set-up do allocate memory. I always get a similar error: exceded maximum of 64MB when script X tried to allocate 380K (aprox). Rounded to 400K I get about 164 scripts should be allocating memory to run out 64MB. * Is that a normal number of scripts? Just to get an idea… * Thank you in advance! * Regards. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881166) * We cannot give you any answer. There are too many factors. * Thread Starter [wkk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkk/) * (@wkk) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881172) * Ok, if it’s not possible to calculate it, is there any service to measure it in real time? I mean, like put an url to a website and get statistics in this case about memory usage (just wondering, I don´t know if that exists). * I don’t want to annoy with this issue, but I feel is strange that even login page runs out of memory. It’s just… a login page can require over 64MB of memory? That seems a lot for a form apparently quite simple (just a feeling I can’t really affirm this since I don’t know wp core in detail). * This problem blocks my web administration and also when it works, I’m afraid to update anything so my web is going to fail when I refresh. I’m quite desperate to get a solution… * Thank you in advance. * Best regards! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881173) * > is there any service to measure it in real time? * Not as far as I am aware. * [Marco Milesi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/milmor/) * (@milmor) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881197) * First, go under **Wordfence -> Options** At the end of the page you can set how much memory this plugin can use and also test your host’s memory _in real time_. * – My Configuration – Maximum memory Wordfence can use – 256 Megabytes * – My Test with many other plugins – Current maximum memory configured in php. ini: 64M Current memory usage: 45.50M * And i run everything correctly! * Thread Starter [wkk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkk/) * (@wkk) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881238) * Just if somebody has the same problem, my hosting reccomended me to add the following line in .htaccess file: * php_value memory_limit 128M * It seems to work fine, so I think not only limit of 64M was fake but also I was surpassing a higher memory limit (whatever it was). They’ve told me to take care about plugins that use cache, maybe it was corrupted so that caused the problem. * Where can I learn more about wordpress cache? Specially how to clean it if I get the same problem again. * Thank you very much. I hope this info will be useful for other users. * Regards. * Thread Starter [wkk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkk/) * (@wkk) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-out-memory-problems/#post-3881241) * Thank you for your info Marco (didn’t see your answer ’till I replied, sorry!). I’ve already done that before I decided to deactivate wordfence. I’ve got the memory problem without this plugin so in my case I think it was more a structural question (maybe corrupted cache as my hosting suggested me). * Best regards.
