Database size & WordPress memory limit & Beaver Builder

Beaver Builder
1

while working on a page, beaver builder suddenly became unresponsive. that means: it no longer saves. page itself loads - but beaver builder no longer loads.

wordPress threw an error message that memory size was exceeded. by raising the limit it was possible to reactivate the pages.

my suspicion: due to the many revisions, the beaver builder pages inflate in such a way that they require too much memory & beaver builder kneels. however, the pages don’t even have as many revisions (max. 10).

what could be responsible for the fact that the database grows so fast and also that wordPress requires so much memory? (while working on beaver builder pages - no changes were made apart from page layouts)

Thank you!

All the best

By default WP has no revision limit, every time you update a post/page or layout another revision is made.
You have to add something like this to your wp-config file to limit the amount
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);
