    Last couple of days the CPU utilization have been nearly 100% so the site has been very slow.
    It has also used alot of memory.

    I see the LSphp is the culprint when using top on server side.
    Have had some problems with diskspace also getting too 100% so needed to remove js minification to fix that.

    But the site is very slow and i cant figure out what is slowing down our page.

    how slow that is ? on my test when cache miss it loads in 2.x seconds , that’s not “very” slow

    lsphp is the process name that handling the php script, you should check what is the path name after it.

    can’t see path with TOP but managed to get some information out.

    As you can see it uses alot of cpu when managing index.php for example in this picture.

    yeah well , that doesn’t really give out much helpful info

    I’d sugges try: if you can reproduce the issue , try disable the cache plugin , see how it goes

    this will at least narrow down if the issue is related to plugin or not

    and if CPU goes down with plugin disabled , then try use the default setting on plugin , it could be certain option that uses CPU a lot , step by step , let’s try to narrow down which option that is and see what to do next.

    Most likely you have rogue bot accessing your site and generating too many requests. Possibly tries to hack the site.

    I would suggest checking your server access logs and block any suspicious IPs. Also, would suggest setting your site behind CloudFlare (free account will do).
