Problem: The client reported that their website was going down every hour due to increased server memory consumption when WPML was enabled. Without WPML, the server memory usage was at 1GB, but with WPML activated, it increased to 3GB, causing MySQL crashes. Solution: We reviewed the site's settings and found that the PHP memory limit was set to 256MB, but the WordPress memory limit was only set to 40MB. We increased the WordPress memory limit to 250MB and enabled the WPML SEO feature. After monitoring the site for several hours, we did not observe any resource exhaustion or significant slowness. We asked the client to test the site and inform us if the issue persists or if there are specific steps that could reproduce the problem.
If you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend checking your WordPress memory limit and adjusting it accordingly. It's also beneficial to enable WPML SEO and monitor your site's performance.
