RAM usage
I just received an email from our host that The RAM usage on our VPS, has been running at 90% of its available capacity of 1 GB.
We have been using the same server for about 5 years now and I never had this problem. Is there a txp way that checks how much ram each one of ours sites are using?

Re: RAM usage
I periodically get automated messages from one host, but on checking, it was only temporary peaks on a low-usage server, so I’ve ignored them. Does your server panel show a trace of the CPU usage?

I can only get this graph from the past 15 days. I wish they could let me know of the usage 2 months ago.

Re: RAM usage
The tag trace will show you query times, ram usage and page load times. Might help you kd.rtify any high usage queries.
Briefly flick debugging on, refresh a page, view source then shut debugging off while you comb the bottom of the source code to analyse the results. (I know you know how to show debugging info: this is just for future reference or newbies who come across this thread).

Hmm, that does look the site runs at a fairly consistently high level but you probably scraped the 90% briefly, triggering the email.

What would have been different then?

It was more or less the time I have replaced all the jquery javascripts.
I really have no idea what has changed beyond that. If anything, I optimised the code slightly. Also, I do not know which site is consuming the memory as I’m currently running 3 txp sites in the server.
I’ll be flat out with our upcoming until mid next week, at which time I’ll write to the host and see how I can detect the issue. Putting the NeMe site in debug mode showed nothing, except a minor error in my tags which I corrected. I’ll have to check how the other sites are behaving.

Check your PHP versions. If there are multiple (e.g. PHP 8.4, PHP 8.3 etc) then they may be consuming their own resources that count toward your allowance. If you can pare back to a single version, that may had a positive impact. Shared / allocated hosting like this is a pain because there’s almost no visibility for what’s using what resource, and the only way you can really know is by raising a support ticket to ask for some insight as to what’s using what.
