Unfortunately there isn't much, other than the words in tools.memory.
The low level debugger also has a way to find and list references to a

enter the low level debugger.

In fact there is a long-standing problem in the HTTP server that
causes the factorcode.org server to leak memory. It crashes once or
twice a month nowadays. Are you seeing the same problem?
