    After installing WordFence, I have noticed massive CPU spikes very frequently, which has absolutely destroyed server initial response time, what is the most CPU intensive action WordFence is performing and how do I disable it?

    Hello @godsdead and thanks for reaching out to us!

    I generally only see a CPU spike while a site is under a heavy attack. If you check your Wordfence > Tools > Live Traffic page, are you seeing a lot of blocks during the CPU spike time?

    Can you send a diagnostic report to wftest @ wordfence . com? You can find the link to do so at the top of the Wordfence Tools > Diagnostics page. Then click on “Send Report by Email”. Please add your forum username where indicated and respond here after you have sent it.

    The diagnostic might help me see if anything is out of place as well.

    Thanks again!
