Title: CPU usage spikes Last modified: March 5, 2018 --- # CPU usage spikes * [ivanbigazzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanbigazzi/) * (@ivanbigazzi) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-spikes/) * Hi, I installed Mailpoet 3 (and MailPoet 3 Premium) on a website I’m currently working on (hosted on Siteground), and I’m experiencing cpu usage spikes so high that Siteground disabled my website. I’ve seen other posts like mine, and yes, I’ve already selected the option “Visitors to your website”. * How can I tackle the problem? * Thanks for the attention * Ivan Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Jack K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jack-kitterhing/) * (@jack-kitterhing) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-spikes/#post-10054794) * Hey Ivan, * If you’re experiencing CPU usage spikes, you might also want to edit the “Send With” options to limit the amount of emails being sent per hour. This should bring your CPU usage down. * Thanks! * [Wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/) * (@wysija) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-spikes/#post-10067250) * [@ivanbigazzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanbigazzi/) thanks for reporting. Can you please contact us through the form found in the help icon at the bottom right of all your MailPoet pages? * [@miclovin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miclovin/) we’ll be happy to help too. Either contact us like we instructed above or open a separate forum topic. - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [Wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/). * Thread Starter [ivanbigazzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanbigazzi/) * (@ivanbigazzi) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-spikes/#post-10073326) * [@wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/) sadly the CPU spike situation got so bad that this morning Siteground locked my website. I’ll have to pay for a more powerful server solution. In the meantime, I opended a ticket with the siteground support team, and they answered blameing these queries that, accoirding to them, are too “heavy”: * === TOP 10 of 1351 (total) Slow Queries for the past 24 hours ========== 1.
