    Hi,

    WordPress Version 6.2
    Anti-Spam CleanTalk Version 6.7

    My hosting provider checked the recent spikes in CPU usage and told me this was the root cause:

    If I’m not mistaken, apbct_no_cache is a process from CleanTalk Spam protection plugin, right?
    Is so, could you please investigate and give me your feedback?
    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    Hello, @stfa76

    The following options will reduce the load on your webserver:

    WordPress Admin Page —> Settings —> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk —> Advanced settings —>

    • —> set the option “Use AJAX for JavaScript check” to “Off” —>
    • —> set the option “Set cookies” to “On” —>
    • —> set the option “Add a CleanTalk Pixel to improve IP-detection” to “Off” —>
    • —> set the option “Anti-Crawler” to “Off” —>
    • —> set the option “Anti-Flood” to “Off” —>
    • —> Save Changes.

    If it didn’t help, you can simply disable the SpamFireWall feature entirely as it’s an additional feature, the main part of the anti-spam protection will still work.

    Did it help?

    Hello @dimitrycleantalk

    All the settings were already set as you mention, except the Anti-Flood that was ON (value = 20).
    So I switched off the anti-flood.
    And I also disabled the SpamFireWall feature and see if the situation improves.

    Thanks a lot for your feedback.

    Best regards,
    Stf.
