Why is my computer's RAM usage so high when using Shopify on Edge?

[ahass108]

Hey all, I've noticed that the Shopify tab on computer is using an ABSURD amount of RAM whenever it is open. For reference, I am using Microsoft Edge. I have 16 GB of RAM which should be more than enough, and Shopify is constantly using most of it as you can see in the attached screenshot. It causes me performance issues, and I can't justify upgrading my PC specs even more just to load the backend. Anyone else have similar issues and/or ideas for how to solve this? I've tried clearing my cache to no avail.

Hey @ahass108 ,

No, shopify not consume such amount of ram.  You may try...

1. Clear browser cache and cookies.
2. Try a different browser or update Edge.
3. Disable extensions and check in incognito mode.
4. Identify resource-intensive elements in Shopify backend.

And may be there is some app installed in your store that taking so much Ram.

Thanks
