Hello @kanikajain1509 ,
If you suspect that high CPU utilization is related to the snippet code used in your WordPress website, particularly if it involves external requests, response handling, frequent database access, or inefficient code inside shortcodes, you can take the following steps to investigate and address the issue:
Review the Snippet Code: Carefully review the snippet code you’ve added to your website. Look for any sections of code that make external requests to third-party services, access the database frequently, or contain complex and resource-intensive operations.
Optimize External Requests: If your snippet code makes external API requests, ensure that these requests are optimized. Minimize unnecessary requests and consider implementing caching mechanisms to reduce the load on your server.
Database Access: If your code frequently accesses the database, review the database queries. Make sure that your queries are efficient, and consider using WordPress’s built-in functions for database operations. Avoid running complex queries inside shortcodes or loops if possible.
Shortcodes: Check if the shortcode functions in your snippet code are well-optimized. Avoid heavy computations or database queries within shortcodes, as these can impact performance.
Caching: Implement caching mechanisms to store and serve frequently accessed content or data.
Profiling and Debugging: Use WordPress debugging tools and plugins to profile your code and identify performance bottlenecks. Plugins like Query Monitor or New Relic can help you pinpoint resource-intensive code.
Server Resources: Ensure that your server has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle the expected traffic. If your server resources are consistently maxed out, it can lead to performance issues.
Code Review: If you’re uncertain about the efficiency of your code, consider seeking a code review from experienced developers who can provide insights and suggest improvements.
By thoroughly reviewing and optimizing your snippet code, addressing any performance bottlenecks, and implementing best practices, you can reduce CPU utilization and improve the overall performance of your WordPress website.
Hope this helps.
