High CPU usage on empty site

  • I installed WordPress on new domain. CPU is high. Sometimes it goes to 60-70%, sometimes to 100% – and than my server goes down.

    – I have no plugins
    – I have no content
    – Theme is wordpress default (twenty fifteen or similar

    I tried to install some security plugins like WP Security but problem is not fixed.

    I installed we super cache – but the problem is not fixed.

    1. When I deinstall WordPress, cpu is going down. When I install wordpress on that domain, CPU is going up.

    2. I have installed wordpress on other domains on the same server and have no problem.

    3. When I install WordPress on subfolder (subfolder of this problematic domain) everithing is ok. But when I install on the domain root (not in subfolder) my cpu is going up.

    What is the problem? I think that someone calling my site by robot. How can i analyze and prevent this problem?

    BTW, when I delete database, than CPU is going down, but not too much. CPU is still burning, but little lower. When I delete site (wordpress files) than CPU goes down at normal level.

    I think that someone is calling my website with robot. How to prevent this?

    I’ll suggest contacting the webhost, checking the log files to see if someone is trying to DDOS or someone is trying to heavily spam your site. Blocking that IP would help.
