Hi all! I just installed LEMP (Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL) on Ubuntu 14 and Wordpress in my droplet of 512 mb ram. As i can see in “top” i consume almost memory (90%)
KiB Mem: 501880 total, 484296 used, 17584 free, 13436 buffers KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 used, 0 free. 345056 cached Mem
Can it be Ubuntu? What linux distribution uses less ram?
(I have not installed plugins or web in wordpress only the installation, I have no views)
Thanks!!
