Memory Hog

  • I’ve previously used Jetpack successfully but, on trying to install on a new blog setup, it killed my little website. Hogged a huge amount of memory and spawned unhappy error messages. Couldn’t access dashboard interface until I deleted the plugin. I always wondered why my previous blog setup was slower than desired… I used to blame it on modified themes or lagging servers. Now I strongly suspect it was Jetpack all along.

  • I think I have the same problem with my website. Could you please describe how you managed to delete the plugin without access to the dashboard?
    Thank you!

    Hi Lavisch, I simply deleted the whole folder from my directory via FTP. It’s under wp-content > plugins > jetpack. Hope that helps! ??

    Thanks for the feedback!

    If you’re willing to give Jetpack another try, you can then activate and deactivate modules by going to Jetpack > Settings in your dashboard, as explained here:

    It’s also a good first step when experiencing performance issues: you can deactivate each module, one at a time, until you find the module that slows down your site. If you can narrow the problem down to a specific module, do not hesitate to let me know!
