High Cpu Usage

Hi. My hosting provider, Siteground, is notifying me of high cpu usage on my website. The problem seems to be related to admin-ajax.php script used by visual composer in your theme. Can you help me ?

a) make sure you do NOT use the “load more” ajax options in modules,
b) try turning off the related posts option in posts
c) try turning off the “suggested for you” flyout box
d) try NOT using mega-menu
e) make sure you increase the default memory in your wp-config.php file to at least 96MB (see my “sticky post” on optimization for how to do that).

ADMIN: should likely add the wp-config.php memory upgrade option as a “requirement” for pre-install notes!

Hi Chris,

These are valid suggestions, however, disabling all these features actually almost defies the purpose of using the theme. This is an issue that has to be addressed by VC people and tagdiv eventually.

@meremetia
we’re using the theme across multiple news portals without those features which are very minor elements of the theme, frankly. However, the suggestion was there to help debug WHAT was causing CPU usage for that person — and what might have been causing that many versions back in June, vs October are two completely different animals. v6 of the theme is very different from v4, and also VC has been updated and tweaked quite a bit since then.

In your case – were you just commenting, or did you yourself actually have a CPU issue — you didn’t specify if the problem impacts you, or you were just editorializing.

hi Chriss, just commenting for the sake of conversation, no issues here. thanks to tagdiv and you for all the hard work 😉

@Emil G. As Chris S. noted my message was from June. I solved disabling the megamenu as suggested.

I’ll reactivate it when i transfer my website from a shared server to a VPS.

Thanks

ga-roovy!
I don’t work here — just paying it forward around here for all the help I’ve gotten on other forums over the years when I couldn’t figure stuff out, or had a burning WTF question and got some great help.
