Hi,
We are running Newspaper 12.7.6 with td-cloud-library 3.7 and td-composer 5.2 on a server with 56 CPUs and 64GB RAM.
Our site has:
– 214,000 published posts
– 209,000 attachments
– PHP 8.0, MySQL 8.0
Every time we activate td-cloud-library or td-composer, the server load spikes from 8 to 90-127 within seconds. We see 100+ php-cgi processes and 80-100 simultaneous MySQL queries running against wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables.
We have already tried:
– Updating plugins to latest versions
– Adding database indexes (including spro_tagdiv_recent_posts from Scalability Pro)
– Increasing PHP memory to 512M
– Clearing all cache
The plugins are incompatible with large sites. Without them active, the server runs fine. With them active, the site crashes.
Please advise what is causing this behavior and how to fix it for large sites.

Hi,
There must be a reason why that happens. The plugins are supposed to consume resources, but such a powerful server should handle the website easily. I’ve seen much larger websites that used Newspaper, like 3 or 4 times larger, on less powerful servers and they performed quite nicely.
Could I take a look? I will need access to the website and to cPanel. You can send these by email at contact@tagdiv.com Then I’ll try to find what’s wrong.
Thank you!
