Liquid Error: Memory Limits Exceeded When Editing Shopify Theme

Shopify Discussion
1

Hi everyone! I’m a beginner web developer currently working on my Shopify store, Wear Blends. I’m facing an issue with my theme that I hope you can help me with.

Problem: Whenever I try to edit my theme, I encounter the following error: “Liquid error: Memory limits exceeded.” This happens when I attempt to save changes, and it prevents me from making updates to my store.

Impact: This error is significantly hindering my ability to customize my store, which is critical as I’m trying to launch it soon. I’m concerned that it might also impact the overall performance of the site.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • I’ve cleared my browser cache and cookies.
  • I’ve tried using different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) but the issue persists.
  • I removed some recently added code snippets, but the error continues to appear.

Questions:

  1. Has anyone else encountered this error, and how did you resolve it?
  2. Are there any best practices to prevent memory limit issues in Shopify?
  3. What’s the recommended approach for optimizing theme code to avoid this error?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hey,

Nothing works I already tried those methods. The crash happened after I installed one of your apps.
Please help!

Kind regards,

Broadcast. I’m experiencing the issue today where I couldn’t load the theme editor at all. However, I installed a free theme (Dawn), the theme editor was able to load just fine. At this point I’m not sure if it is a theme problem or Shopify.
