Great plugin because I can use it to troubleshoot which plugin is using much memory. My WordPress site was using way too much memory and I found out which plugin it was. Envo Extra. It was using 26 MB of memory. That is pretty high when the normal Wordpress limit is 40 MB. No problem, Plugin Memory Usage has a button you can click if the system are using over 80% and then the limit is increased.So, all in all, great plugin I would recommend this to others, and its 100% free.
