wp-content plugin is high amount os Admin-ajax

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    My CPU usage has been going to 100% daily, many time throughout the day even if no one is on the site except me.

    I have contacted my server host Cloudways and they informed me that
“The wp-content plugin is using the most Admin-ajax.”

    Here is an example of SLOW PHP PAGES: https://snipboard.io/uiYWMS.jpg

    I have already done the following:
1. Disabled WP_cron & added it to Cloudways
2. Blocked spammy bots + have a bot protection plugin
3. Block spammy IPs
4. Increase PHP Memory Limit: 1024


    This issue has been causing people to drop off my site and not allowing me to do any edits on the site.

    I am checking on GTMterics and My homepage has a loong timeline in the waterfall chart as seen here (https://snipboard.io/peDxit.jpg). This is the response: https://snipboard.io/XPDj2L.jpg.

    How do I know how to fix the CPU going to 100% everyday, whenever someone is on my site with this info?

    Best,
    Chris

  • There are two things commonly called “WordPress”.

    1. WordPress the free open-source site building software from WordPress.org (this is what you used to build your website).

    2. WordPress.com, a web host for sites using WordPress software.

    The two are related, but completely separate entities. Please read this page for more info on how they are related:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    As a completely volunteer based organization offering a free product, WordPress (the open-source software) does not have a phone number, an office, or a support team. Questions are often answered in their forums by helpful community members.

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    WordPress.com (which you have reached) is a business and does have a support team. But we can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. We cannot help with sites hosted elsewhere but built with the WordPress open-source software.

    Does that make sense? Let us know if not or if you have further questions.
