Memory limit

  • Thank you for your plugin!

    I have a shop on WooCommerce with 4-6 orders per day and your plugin installed.

    I also have 1024 Mb memory limit on my memcached server and it goes up to that value in a week or so after serves is started. Then I get a warning email from my provider that the limit is reached and that the site might start working not as expected.

    Is it true?

    Do I have to limit the usage of memcached on my WordPress site? If yes, how can I do that?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    This isn’t specifically related to the memcache plugin, but rather what the rest of your site is using the cache for.

    Memcache by default garbage-collects data when the memory fills up, removing lesser-used items so that more frequent accessed data can be retained in memory.

    The vast majority of WordPress sites (Even WooCommerce, etc) would never need 1024M in a memcache instance, generally 100MB or so would be more than enough.

    But to answer the question: No; If the memory cache fills up, old items that are not being used or are expired will be removed by the memcache server (not by this plugin) such that newer items can be stored.

    Thank you for the detailed reply.

    Since generally 100MB is more than enough and my site uses more than 1000MB, something seems to be wrong. Could you please tell if I need to either make some improvements in WordPress configuration or contact my hosting provider to ask them to make some tweaks in memcached server?

    Thanks again!
