High Server Load

    Hi, I used to have my site on Hostgator along with 5 other sites but after the shared hosting going up and down every day over a couple months, I moved just one site, which i believe was the problem site over to Bluehost and it had the shared hosting all to itself. The site kept crashing there too.. although less frequently.

    I cannot find a plugin that measures server load and the various constituents of the Server load. I did find that if I use the Broken Link Checker plugin, I can see the load used by the system Under the advanced tab. I noticed that the load on this problem site is anyway between 15 to 30. When I checked several of my other and some heavily used sites, the load is about 2 – 4

    Yesterday I did a brand new install of WordPress on a different host. Did an Export of SQL on BlueHost and Import to the New host. Then I copied only the WPCONTENTS folder across. Finally I activated just one plugin “Broken Link Checker” .. The load is still the same.. 18 – 33.

    I have switched the theme to Twenty-16 and the load remains unchanged

    I have used the plugin “WP Crontrol” to delete several cron jobs and “WP-DBManager” to drop several tables.
    All this has no effect on the load.. It is still Exorbitantly high

    I really need to find out what is causing the high load. Right now I have just ONE plugin running..just to show me the load. I have bad feeling the problem is SQL ?????

    I am willing to try out anything at this stage
    Please help

    Did you check with your hosting company? They may be able to tell you what is causing the spike.

    Also, if you think it is the SQL DB, you can try to repair the db in the clean instance. See link

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Codejockey, The WP_ALLOW_REPAIR tip worked great on the new host. The load which was originally like 20-33 dropped to less than 5.

    I moved the domain back to Bluehost but the WP_ALLOW_REPAIR did not seem to work the magic. I did drop several tables and delete several cron jobs on the new host before I ran the repair, which could have assisted in fixing the problem.
    I guess I could play around on Bluehost, But I will just move the db from the newhost to bluehost.

    This problem has been happening for several months now.. and YOU FIXED IT !!!. You DA MAN !!!!!!!
    Thanks
