Joomla! is a great software . You can find and install many great extensions but using many extensions (mostly plugins & modules) will also a problem reason : MEMORY ISSUES

Core Joomla! will work with 8MB memory but as you know, all J! users use more than one extension so it's better to keep in mind how to increase your memory limits

You can increase your php memory limit with  3 ways

1. insert memory_limit = 16M to your php.ini file . This will increase your php memory limit to 16 MB. This is also the recommended method (, if you have access) .  Don't forget to properly locate your php.ini file!
2. You can add ini_set('memory_limit', '16M'); add the top your codes (You can add this to your index.php file which is in the root your Joomla! installation. This is not the suggested way because of index.php patch)
3. Adding php_value memory_limit 16M to your .htaccess file in the Joomla! root (This will not work in windows servers)

One suggestion

I want to remind one important Joomla! tip .  If you do not use something (you can say component, module or plugin), Remove it from your Joomla!
