Ever since updating the newspaper theme I have been getting severe CPU spikes causing the website to slow down and no one being able to visit the site for 2 minutes. This happens every 2-3 hours.

Many times I find some traffic requesting using this URL which leads to 404 page. For example:

“GET /wpcom-113638781/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/fcbe51358ac66e0f4e6f4a806f374126-e1673549662212.jpg HTTP/2.0”

I found several records in the database of my website that lead to the non-existent URL https://muslimskeptic.com/wpcom-113638781/wp-content/uploads

It should instead be https://muslimskeptic.com/wp-content/uploads

I have checked for plugin conflicts and have optimised the site greatly and I also know there is no DDOS attack. However these spikes continue to happen.

I believe the issue stems from these URLs being added by some type of functionality belonging to the theme.
