how much RAM does txp need

The question is in the subject. How much RAM does a vanilla installation of txp with its default front/back templates need?

I guess that I have to add from there on when designing the site and adding plugins

Re: how much RAM does txp need

From a vanilla install of Textpattern 4.5.4 I’ve got on a development server with no plug-ins and no added content:

Admin side memory usage: 1536Kb

Public side memory usage: 1434Kb

As reported in page source with Textpattern set to Testing mode.

Edit: just to add that the Admin side is the Admin > Users tab using Hive Admin theme. Different pages have different memory usage.

Thanks!!! Do you know how I can calculate the RAM when plugins are installed?

Re: how much RAM does txp need

All I can suggest is testing after installing plugins.

The memory requirement is going to vary greatly by plugin, the amount of content in your DB and what the plugin does. To say nothing of how front end pages are designed and what content they have.

At least in Testing mode you’ve got a useful report at the end of the page’s source code of DB queries and memory used for each page load so you can test content heavy pages (archives, etc.) to see what impact they have on site performance.

Re: how much RAM does txp need

Txp tag trace is only a rough estimate, I’m afraid (and why maxMemUsage() function is called before the tag execution?). As for the number of db queries, it’s reliable only if plugins use internal txp db functions. Some external tool would be more accurate.

Ah, OK, fair enough, I wasn’t aware of that.

Thanks for the clarification.
