CPU high use

Hi Tony,
top is not good to discover your cpu load percentage. If you dig into the code of this plugin you will see that I’ve taken a completely different approach of calculating the cpu load percentage.

Also I’ve verified the shell command that has been used in this plugin with many server admin professionals working in many renowned hosting companies before putting it into this plugin.

If your server is getting so much cpu usage when people are visiting it, this is some serious issue. Either your server hardware is not up to the mark or you should hire a server admin to take a look at your server config and softwares.

Feel free to dig into the plugins code and checkout the shell commands I’ve used. If you want you can run them manually in your server too. ??

Hi iSaumya,

Thanks by your return and informations!

Hi, the result seems OK to me. I don’t understand what are you trying to show me here: https://clip2net.com/s/3zTJV7x

It was just to show you, now Real Time Cpu Load is at 27%, but some time ago was about 45%…

I take a look at status, and found that what is causing this loads looks like to be /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php , at some post on internet, people talk about Heartbeat api, i have disabled this application, but the problem persists… If you have some tip about this, please i′m hearing.

Anyway, thank you by this plugin!

Tony

This plugin shows real time usage, so it is normal because the loads doesn’t stay same for very long time, as the load changes in the server, the plugin shows the recent load.

I take a look at status, and found that what is causing this loads looks like to be /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

To constantly updating any data on the webpage without reloading it, the scripting that is used called Ajax. If you don’t know what ajax is, you can read it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)

Now unlike general webpage, wordpress handles each ajax request via admin-ajax.php that is why it shows up.

at some post on internet, people talk about Heartbeat api

This is a very old news and both wordpress core and almost all apps has been patched for this bug. Also my app doesn’t have this vulnerability either.

Verdict:
My plugin just calls a hand few basic shell commands to the server via ajax after certain milliseconds. This should not increase any server load (tested in more than 50 quality servers & VPS). If you see high cpu load in your server, then either your server doesn’t have quality hardware/ it is overloaded or there is some problem with your server configuration/security (as said before). So, I will highly recommend you to hire a knowledgeable server admin to take a look at your server (in case you have VPS or Dedicated Server).

My plugin just shows the condition of your server, but plugin doesn’t increase your server load.

Hope this helps ??

Hi iSaumya,

Thank you by the advices! i will see this!

Hi Tony,
I’ve just release v1.3.1 of this plugin which comes with Admin Settings Menu from where you can easily edit the real time script refresh interval time in case your server cannot handle superfast concurrent request.

I hope this latest version will help you to fix the high CPU usage issue you are facing earlier.

To visit the settings of WP Server Stats in v1.3.1, first update the plugin; then go to Settings > WP Server Stats.

Hope this helps. ??
