Hosting Recommendations

Memory Limit

While SpecCart works with the WordPress minimum of 128MB, we recommend 256MB of PHP memory for optimal performance, especially if you:

Handle prescription image uploads
Use the AI-powered prescription extraction feature
Have other plugins installed

Upload Size

Set your maximum upload size to at least 10MB to allow customers to upload prescription images. To check your current limit, go to Media → Add New in WordPress Admin.

If you need to increase this limit, contact your hosting provider or add this to your wp-config.php:

@ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '20M');
@ini_set('post_max_size', '20M');
