Excessive I/O usage

    I am having issues with the jetpack plugin maxing out the I/O usage on my website. My site basically crashed due to I/O usage reaching its limit (1 MB/s) and also reaching the 1GB limit on physical memory usage. Deactivating Jetpack dropped these back to normal.

    Is there a setting I can change or an option I can deselect to reduce this usage?

    Hi there,

    Does having Jetpack the only plugin activated still cause this I/O usage issue?

    I wanted to see if there is a plugin conflict causing the max out.

    Regardless, I would deactivate any Jetpack modules that you are not using as this could contribute to more processing.

    A majority of Jetpack is processed on our end and is designed to speed up your site, such as the site accelerator:

    So, I’d be interested in seeing if you still have the same issues with only Jetpack activated.

    Hope this helps!

    I’ve just had to deactivate jetpack again due to it slowing down our site massively. As soon as I deactivate it page load times drop from 10s+ to a second or so. The I/O usage is unpredictable so I cannot guarantee it happening whilst I am troubleshooting. It is a production site so I cannot deactivate other plugins…

    Have you tried disabling individual Jetpack modules, and only enable those for the features you want to use?

    Yes, tried that. I don’t know if it’s some conflict with another plugin but because it is not predictable I cannot troubleshoot (and I cannot disable plugins to see as it is a production site)
