# Entry Processes and CPU Usage

 * Hey guys, well my site went down yesterday giving me a 508 resource limit reached
   error. It happened right after my host (directnic.com) moved my site to a new
   server. They warned me they were doing it and they completed the move and yet
   my site was then down with the 508 resource limit error so I upgraded to Directnic’s
   highest hosting plan hoping that would fix it. No such luck.
    Currently looking
   at Cpanel my site is maxing out Entry Processes and CPU Usage, sometimes both
   at the same time, sometimes one at a time. And sometimes it also maxes out Virtual
   Memory Usage. I am getting around 500 visitors on my site which is totally normal.
   Nothing has changed that I can think of except that my host moved me to a different
   server. Everything is up to date completely.
 * This is everything I have done to try and fix this problem:
    Manually reinstalled
   the newest version of wordpress. Deactivated ALL of my plugins. Installed and
   activated the plugin WP Super Cache. Ran the plugin WP Authenticity Checker with
   no problems found and then I deleted the plugin so the only plugin running on
   my site then was WP Super Cache. Deleted all but the theme I am using. Via cpanel
   I compressed the site. Via phpmyadmin I repaired and optimized all of my databases.
   I went through my theme with a fine toothed comb and found no problems or malicious
   anything in the code. I just installed and am running a scan with the plugin 
   Exploit Scanner… Nevermind it can’t get a scan done because my site keeps running
   out of resources. Installed the plugin Sucuri and it found no problems then I
   deleted the plugin. I have changed all of my passwords twice over the last day
   and will probably do it again, that’s my database passwords, ftp passwords, wordpress
   login passwords and all the other passwords I could think of. I did the cron 
   job thing by deleting it in the wordpress files and setting it up in cpanel. 
   I have increased memory etc in php.ini and in htaccess and then deleted them 
   both thinking I might have screwed something up etc. and I didn’t screw anything
   up, I am still sitting here with this problem.
 * I want to fix this myself but everything points to this being the fault of my
   host unless I’m missing something? I have not yet tried removing the ads from
   my website but I can’t see how a site that was working with no problems two days
   ago suddenly is using resources like this unless somehow it was hacked and exploited.
 * Is there something I haven’t tried?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fentry-processes-and-cpu-usage%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * That’s what I’m thinking, and I don’t think you missed anything.
