    Hello excuse my english.
    I have a website with 7000 to 13 000 visits a day and 20 000 views pages (My website).
    I use cloudflare, i turned on gzip and browser cache in my htaccess file like that :

    <filesmatch “.(php|html|css|js)$”>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    </filesmatch>

    <ifmodule mod_expires.c>
    <filesmatch “.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf|ico)$”>
    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 months”
    </filesmatch>
    </ifmodule>

    Everydays, my website get cpu throttling : http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/618/7890030299.png

    I tried to turn off all plugins but it’s the same.

    So know i don’t know what to do because my website is very slow and get sometimes database error connexion.
    GT metrix gives very good results (93% and 80%)

    Current process gives me something like that :

    myusername 1149 8.0 0.0 306808 16028 ? R 11:28 0:00 | \_ /ramdisk/php/54/bin/php54 /home4/myusername/public_html/index.php
    myusername 988 16.5 0.1 338736 50016 ? R 11:28 0:00 | \_ /ramdisk/php/54/bin/php54 /home4/myusername/public_html/index.php

    Hello!

    I am not really an expert with Bluehost, but I guess the 20 000 pageviews/day is a little bit too much for a shared hosting account, so maybe this is why your site get’s throttled.

    It’s just an idea, but you should try the WP Super Cache plugin. And here is a good talk about WordPress caching in general, you should check it out:

    If you have any other questions, just feel free to post them here, I am happy to help.

    Thank you for your answer. I have already another website with more people but with another compagny and there is no problem. But i can’t use the same compagny for many reasons that i can’t explain here.

    I tried W3 total cache, but it gave so much troubles so i decided to use cache in htaccess file, it works fine and i use wp-minify plugin.

    I don’t think that it’s the problem because my website gives very good results in GTmetrix (i disabled cloudflare yesterday so it will be back today).

    That is strange because sometimes i have 50 users online with cpu throttling, and sometimes a little bit more without cpu throttling.

    So i would like to find the problem to solve it but i am not able to identify the problem.

    Ok. I think you should try the P3 Profiler plugin, it helps you find out which plugins are using the most resources, to see if there is something that stands out.

    On the other part, I think you should try to ask Bluehost support if they can find you what causes the throttling, maybe they can provide you some useful info…

    Ok thank you very much P3 is a very good tool ! I tried this plugin. Three plugins take most respond time. WP-security scan, wp-secure-wordpress and wp-contact-form.
    Total time : 3.369 s
    Without these plugins : 1.15 s

    Do you know similar plugins with better respond time ?

    Sorry, I didn’t use the P3 plugin that much that I have checked any plugin performance with it…

    Hi, I got the same problem of you. I get even more visitors. Time ago was throttling with over 300 active users and now it goes off even with much less.
    I upgraded the Bluehost hosting to the Pro one. It got a bit better but it goes off some minutes 8-9 times a day anyway…

    Did you resolve your problem?

    Thanks,

    Alex
