Problem with low storage space.

  • Hello,

    I have a domain based on … this is not essential. Importantly, their free domain allows you to use only 200 MB of storage space.

    It does not seem like a bit, but you just have to run a few themes and plugins, and the limit is immediately exceeded.

    I have had this problem several times.

    Is there any effective way to reduce data?

    Please advise.

    Thank you

  • Hello michalrama,

    Here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 128M

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 128M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 128MB)

    ^ That’s regarding processing memory – which isn’t the same as storage space.

    @michalrama, Use a tool in your hosting provider’s control panel like ‘File manager’ to see where this 200MB is coming from

    Ya, I totally agree with you @anevins, it is related to storage space, for that compressed files and DNS can help. So, the most effective way is to reduce the size of the files on your website.
    1.Build simpler, more efficient websites. Remove any unnecessary text, images or other files. Keep your pages as small as possible.
    2.Optimize your graphics. Use JPEG image format for photos and GIF form for graphics.
    3.Refrain from fancy flash presentations, audio or video. This includes any music playing the background.
    4.Use CSS and call Javascripts externally instead of embedding in every page. This reduces the HTML file size.
    5.Remove unwanted tags, white space and comments
    6.Limit your Meta tags to those absolutely necessary
    7.Consider caching your website, but set an expiry date in the HTTP headers so your visitors’ browsers will refresh the content after a certain time (this allows their browser to save a copy of your website, and each time the visitor visits your website, the pages are served from the copy on the browser and not your web server)

    One more suggestion: Don’t upload any images that are larger than they need to be. A few images uploaded directly from your phone can clobber your allocated disk space. Use a nice photo editor on your PC to edit, crop, and scale them to the maximum needed size before uploading.
