WordPress using high CPU Usage
-
Hello,
I have a problem with WordPress and Server and it is driving me crazy, hope some experts like you cal help me ??.
I was on a Shared Hosting and one night (Like 5 days ago) the server started to use CPU 80%+ and it make server go down. The sites I have on that server are new (No more than 250 total visitors per day) so the Hosting Company (BanaHosting.com) told me it was because a lot of PHP process was running.
I decided to move everything to A Small Orange (Cloud VPS) and it was OK but just yesterday it started again.
Its important to mention that all of that sites have a lot of backlinks (50K+) so a lot of bots come to comment (50+ spam comments everyday) so this maybe is the problem cause (I am not sure).
Its very strange, also its important to mention that I only use the following plugins on the websites:
WordPress SEO by Yoast
Akismet
Contact Form 7
Jetpack by WordPress
Pretty Link Lite
Useful Banner ManagerSites are using Genesis Framework Themes, so theme must not be a problem.
This problem is driving me crazy, one of the sites is currently off because if I turn it on in less than 2 minutes, it makes the VPS crash (Other sites use a lot of CPU too, 25%-50%)
Do any of you have any ideas about this? Its very very strange, also I have a friend with the same VPS and similar sites and they work perfectly.
Thank you very much to all ??
