I am using CentOS 7 and maybe i have installed php-fpm in a different way and for the default pool www configurations file is located at /etc/opt/rh/rh-php72/php-fpm.d/www.conf.

So I set php max request to 100 and memory is ok now.

Thanks for the tips

In reply to JB.

@JB: with these specs (1 GB RAM, 1 CPU) it doesn’t matter. If you get a lot of users at once, your machine will choke, no matter what. The default settings will be fine. For more users (around 5 to 50 requests per second), you will need a better machine with more RAM and more CPU.

Great article and great notes from a commentator. This topic is highly debatable. @commentator – What have you found to work great for you on a 1GB RAM, 1CPU installation running woocommerce, or thereabouts?

Worth reading just to find out about glances. Regardless of whether this is good for production or only for development, this pointed me in the right direction and at least now I know what to look at.

Thanks!
