CPU Usage Reaching 100% Limit

This may bcs of a plugin, do you have cpanel?

Hi @farhadvn I tried disabling plugins but it didn’t work. But yes i do have cpanel.

Ok, do you blocked bots in your website?

P.S also please check .user.ini or php.ini and write content!

Is your wp cron active?

Hi @farhadvn thanks for the reply.

I could not find any user.ini or php.ini file. Where are they usually located?

I never made any changes in wp cron settings so not sure if its active or not. However there is one entry is wp-config file

define( 'WP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT', 120 );

I checked error logs and found on entry again and again.

WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’ - assumed '‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’' in wp-config.php on line 88
PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant ‘256M’ - assumed '‘256M’' in wp-config.php on line 88

In root directory of public_html (hidden by default, check setting and active showing hidden file.)

Also say me your wp config custom defines.

Add this to wp config:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

Delete this from wp config:

define( 'WP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT', 120 );

Go to cpanel, cron jobs:

Add a job, select common job as 5 min, and put this in command:

wget -q -O - https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

Remember, replace yoursite.com by your own url.

@mayank29gupta ,

I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

Dear @farhadvn I looked into the root directory of public_html but there is no user.ini or php.in file. Even changed setting to show hidden files.

I have added the cron job with cpanel and disabled the cron in config as you suggested.

This is how my config file looks like.

<?php

define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by W3 Total Cache

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);

@mayank29gupta No problem for ini files.

Everthing looklike good, only delete the last line:

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);

And change error_reporting(E_ALL); in 2th line to error_reporting(0); if you dont need to php error logging. (Save first one for debugging times)

please install this plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/

And active features one by one, also captcha. (Dont active bruteforce protection)

This is a free & useful security plugin

Then check your cpu usage.

Note: if not fixed, simple check your cache plugin and unused plugins, check update status of them, if not helped, there is should be a plugin problem that needed to be reported to woo team. However normally with this works should be fixed.

Thanks @farhadvn i will do as you instructed. Meanwhile could you please tell me what should be acceptable CPU usage limit? As I can check on cpanel, I am consistently hitting over 50% of CPU limit several times a day. Most of these times, I am not even accessing the Admin area. In fact I just noticed that I hit 100% usage briefly but I wasn’t accessing the website.

@mayank29gupta It is based on many factors as number & system of plugins, theme, features & number of visitors and hits.

For theme, i forgot it, you should combine css files and active browser caching, it will be very helpful. Save your sever load and bandwidth.
Test your site by gtmetrix.com, it say 2 grade, say me both, with load time and number of requests.

Change your https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_accent for '
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','256M');
also make sure you don’t use all the images in a single folder.
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/media-folders-on-the-server/

@farhadvn Gmetrix score is as following.

PageSpeed Score – A 92%
YSlow Score – C 72%

Load Time: 4.2 seconds
Total Page Size – 710kb
Requests: 70

For your reference I am attaching screenshot of today’s cpu consumption.
