• Hello

    I have noticed my websites using this plugin is causing CPU spikes.

    When i disable the plugin, the CPU resources drop

    Are you aware of this.

    I have tested this on 2 different servers so far

    Hi,

    I’m not aware of it.

    I could think of one possibility that causes such issue is by background routines to update product information.

    Can you test removing the %review% or %rating% tags in Item Format unit option on the both of your units (Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Manage Units -> Edit) and the default (Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Settings -> Default)? If these are present, the plugin tries to fetch those data in the background.

    Let me know if that helps.

    I think that may have helped a little bit. Anything else you can think of?

    Not that I can think of.

    It could be that PHP or MySQL errors are kept throwing somewhere. Are you comfortable with enabling the site debug mode? If so, add these lines in the wp-config.php file.

    
    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
    

    Then check wp-content directory to see if debug.log file is created. If you see some relevant error log entries, I’d like to see those.

    After enabling the site debug mode, you’ll see the Debug tab in Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Tools. It will list performed HTTP requests and if you find duplicated requests in a short period of time like in one seconds, I’d like to see those log entries as well.

    Also, which version of Amazon Auto Links, PHP, MySQL and WordPress are you using? These can be found in Dashboard -> Tools -> Site Health.

    OK I added the following..

    define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
    define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
    define( ‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true );
    define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true );

    no debug.log is getting created

    In the Debug tab i see this…

    Do you see many “429: Too Many Requests” in there or just one? If you see many of those, I’d like to see the time part of them to check how frequent they are.

    And I’d like to know your WordPress version.

    Also, the plugin custom tables should be up-to-date. Can you go to Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Help -> About -> Database Tables and post what it says? It contains table version numbers and I’d like to see those.

    Hmm, looks okay to me. Thanks for posing those information.

    Can you test unchecking the unit option, Now Retrieving Message, under Common Advanced in the both the Default tab and all of your your unit editing pages? If this enabled, the plugin JavaScript tries to resume pending product data. This performs Ajax requests and might consume CPU usage. Once those pending elements are updated, it won’t happen however. So I don’t think it’s the case but it might.

    Or it could be that you are setting a short cache duration. Can you make the unit Cache Duration option longer than the current one? When caches expire, they will be renewed in the background and the process involves a certain number of HTTP requests which can consume some resources as well.
