    I am Running a website PokeWreck.com based on WordPress, but I think there is some issue with the website. The normal RAM usage of the server is around 300mb but if a single user uses the search function on my website the RAM usage goes above 500mb and I/O usage goes full. Yesterday I received a traffic of 50 users online and the website went down. Is it normal with all the WordPress websites or there is any bug in my installation. Do I need to upgrade my server?

  • That seems rather high for that many users. What plugins/themes are you using?

    1) What version of PHP is that server running?
    2) Is the database memory the same as the webserver memory? Reason I ask is a common technique in web hosting is for these to be separated.
    3) When did this start happening?

    Its pretty much the difference between VPS and shared. Most VPS or especially WordPress optimsed hosting have isolated server resources and preconfigured multi-caching.

    Even i am using Cloudflare. and currently i had changed my theme to normal, but still issue is there. i think it’s something with wordpress files.

    The P3 Plugin is also not working. it is not showing not plugins usage

    Some of those plugins are CPU heavy.
    – Check out wp-optimize plugin and wp-disable plugin
