AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP-Memory-Usage is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Php category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 21 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP-Memory-Usage works
Show full descriptionShow less
WP-Memory-Usage is a lightweight but powerful WordPress plugin that monitors and displays memory usage directly in your WordPress admin area.
It is essential for site administrators and developers who need to keep an eye on memory consumption, identify bottlenecks, and act before users are affected.
What the plugin shows:
In the admin footer (every admin page):
* Current memory usage vs. WordPress limit (with percentage)
* Current memory usage vs. PHP limit (with percentage)
* Server IP address and server name
* PHP version
In the Dashboard widget (“Memory Overview”):
* PHP version, architecture (32/64 bit), max execution time
* WordPress memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT), WordPress admin limit (WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT), PHP memory limit
* Current peak memory usage with a visual progress bar (colour-coded: green / orange / red)
* Latest digest status summary (warn / danger / critical badges)
* Link to the Threshold Alerts settings page
Settings & Monitor — Tabs (since 2.0.0):
Settings — thresholds, logging options, email alerts, log rotation
History — latest logged requests with full context (URL, type, user, memory)
Digest — aggregated summaries of past log intervals; browse, merge, and delete digest files
️Actions — practical guidance on what to do when you receive a memory alert
Diagnose (new in 2.1.0) — full PHP/WordPress configuration snapshot with a ready-to-paste AI prompt for analysis
Memory Thresholds — current limits, threshold assessment, and recommendations
Check Installation — verifies that the plugin can run correctly on your server
Why Use WP-Memory-Usage? Excessive memory usage leads to slower sites, HTTP 500 errors, and failed background jobs (cron, imports, backups). WP-Memory-Usage gives you the information you need to act before users are affected — without overwhelming you with notifications.

Diagnose tab (new in 2.1.0): full configuration snapshot + one-click AI prompt (English, copy & paste ready)
Memory Thresholds tab: shows effective limits, threshold gaps, and concrete recommendations
Check Installation tab: verifies log directory, WP-Cron, PHP functions, disk space, and email setup
Admin bar indicator: quick status badge visible on every admin page
Multisite compatible
