    Hi all,

    Things were looking good to start off with, but since then, CPU has been spiking up to 100% again. I'm going to ask my host whether there is a PHP cache installed on the server.

    As I've said, the problem can't be related to plugins whatsoever. All plugins have been disabled, but CPU usage is still high.

    Caching is not the issue and even if the server has it installed, it shouldn't cause your site to overload. So now that we went through the basic checklist your possibly going to need someone to go into your site and see what exactly is going on.

    If all the plugins are off and your using the default theme then either there is an issue with your core WP install or something is happening in your account which is not related to WP at all, but again we can only try to guess what could be wrong.

    I'm fairly advanced with WordPress and the code. Are there any specific things you could give me to look at? There's nobody that I know of (who I trust) that can help me out and look through the site for me.

    Thanks!

    Excellent! Thank you for all of your help!

    And also...host doesn't offer memcached on shared hosting (which I sort of expected to be the case)

    that's a shame wordpress w3 super cache (with setup memcache) works quite nicely

    I'm having this issue as well--with a shared hosting account on Stablehost. I have a Wordpress site which gets very low traffic, but is causing CPU overusage. Tech support said they traced it to my wp-cron.php file. I've deleted my backup plugins. Here are my current, active plugins:

    Askismet
    Custom CSS
    File Gallery
    Google Analytics Yoast
    Nextgen Gallery
    P3 Plugin profiler
    Simple Lightbox
    Wordpress SEO

    Any ideas what could be causing the overuse?

    Does the issue go away when you disable your plugins?

    This is an advice from someone who faced the same problem before and tried a lot of solutions.
    Same freaking issues I have.

    Care to share a few host that isn't on cloudlinix?

    Thanks!

    Hard to say, because I only get the "overusage in the last 24 hours" warning...I can't check CPU overusage minute to minute or hour to hour, right? Disabling all of my plugins would make my site not viewable, which I don't want to do for 24 hours (I use gallery and lightbox plugins).

    If you click on Resource Usage, it'll show you recent graphs where you can see if the issue is still going on.

    Check the waterfall of http requests. Determine if something is loading slowly. That could point you in a direction on where to look in some cases.

    If your using Internet Explorer or Chrome. Push F12

    If your using firefox. (Download firebug plugin for firefox) push F12.

    After pushing F12 a box will show on the bottom of your browser.
    There should be a network tab in this box. Click that. Than do a hard refresh of your browser (while on your website) to see what is loading, and how long it is taking to load.

    You could also use the online benchmarking tool. Like gtmetrix.
    http://gtmetrix.com/

    These tools can help you if it's something that gets loaded client side. If it's server side like bad php or mysql code. Than at least you will know for sure it's not visible client side. Ruling out all possible situtions. Eventually you can figure it out, but it's best to rule out as much as possible instead of looking aimlessly for it.

    Can you ask them for a run down the wp-cron.php usage? Is it being hit with traffic?

    Also...why not start a new thread since this one was two years old.
