I need some help, set this hestia server up from scratch with a single woocommerce site with a fair amount of traffic, but suddenly after a few weeks getting hammered with cpu spikes to 200% (about a minute after php8.3 restart).
i have tried everything i could think of but just don’t get it under control, sometimes for half a day but than it’s back. i need someone to look over my shoulder, its driving me crazy, this is my 4th hestia server and had it before too but forgot how i fixed it.
First @aardappeltje, you must share the specifications of the server with us, or be imposible to know the stating point
A very simple VPS, few vCPU, low RAM, bad hosting company, can easily achieve 200%. Also, think about which plugins you are using with WordPress/WooCommerce, as these can sometimes cause problems.
If you share those details, I may be able to help you.
Hey little late but wanted to close this as i figured it out eventually, somehow whenever i setup a hestia server in combination with woocommerce, i get bombarded with query/filter url requests by meta crawlers. so blocking or limiting meta crawlers was the solution.
thanks for the reply tho, sorry for the not responding!
