97.6% CPU Usage by /wp-admin/page.php

  • Hi guys,

    I can not publish any new pages to my site simply because every time I open /wp-admin/page.php and try to do this the CPU is ready to explode! Normally when the CPU usage is nearly 100% the site is down. The sevrer is a dedicated one 2GB RAM.
    I’ve got wp-super cache and some other tweaks installed, but nothing helps.
    The site has appr 5000 posts/pages and everyone of them with at least 4 custom fields – I’m wandering if this is the problem!

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I’ve solved it, but if someone else is experiencing the same: It’s the permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/

    For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs (which always use the text “page slug” as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with lots of Pages have experienced difficulties). So, it is best to have at least two path segments in your post’s permalink structure such as /%year%/%post_name%/ or even /posts/%post_name/….

    Changing the permalink to /%monthnum%/%year%/%category%/%postname%/ solved the problem ??
