 * My website has suddenly an extremely high CPU usage and as a consequence Siteground
   keeps taking it offline.
 * The high CPU is caused by a large number of executions to index.php en admin-
   ajax.php
 * /home/ketorece/public_html/index.php 32 807
    /home/ketorece/public_html/wp-admin/
   admin-ajax.php 5 574
 * How could I find out what causes this?
 * Thanks

 * You have right click disabled on your site, which is annoying at the best of 
   times, and more so when people are trying to troubleshoot for you.
    The likelyhood
   is a run away process or cron job being kicked off from one of your plugins. 
   If you look at the php and/or apache logs on your server, there should be a clue
   in there. You calso have bad GS code in your theme, which you need to remove.
   Perhaps there is a bad process here bc the UA from Google is not valid :

 * Thank you very much. I have indeed found problems with plugins which I had updated.
 * Also thanks for raising the other issue of GS code in my theme, I am going to
   look into that.
 * Kind regards,
    Nienke
