Showing different memory usage depending on what page I am

    Hi
    I noticed that the plugin shows an x% of memory usage for when, for example, I’m at dashboard page. Then if I move to plugins it shows a different %.

    A real example:

    I have a site that while on dashboard shows 93MB used, then if I go to plugins page it drops instantly to 38MB…is that a real memory drop happening or the readings are just different for some specific reason.

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    This is really strange. The plugin gets the info from the server using the PHP function memory_get_usage.

    Here you can see the definition of this function: PHP: memory_get_usage.

    Each time you change the page in the administration of your WordPress, this data is updated getting the value from the server.

    Maybe your dashboard page has many memory intense widgets. On the plugin page there are no widgets executed, so memory consumption is lower.

    Best regards.

    Hi there, thanks for taking the time to answer me.

    Yes it looked weird to me as well, I forgot to mention that I don’t have heavy plugins loading on dashboard, I even removed all of them and I was still getting those fluctuations.

    Maybe I can create a template using the function to see what does it show?

    Thanks!
