Hi everyone, like many, I'm new to Hubski, but that's irrelevant so let's move on.
I am not a programmer, I am very computer literate but this is not my profession.
I have been having some issues with my sites. I have them hosted in GoDaddy and lately I've been getting emails that my resources are running low, specifically CPU Usage and Physical Memory Usage. I've already upgraded to "Level 2" Resources but that is still happening and sometimes my site is SUPER slow to load.
They are really small sites with very few hits, mostly portfolios for my work.
Anyone know what I can do or what tests I can run to know if there are some weird cycles running or memory leaks? All my sites are Wordpress and I'm running them on a shared Linux server.
Thanks.
Ok, so here are my resources and where I'm at right now. It doesn't seem to be a consistent problem, apparently CPU Usage and Memory Usage is spiking sometimes, which triggers the warnings. I am running 7 Wordpress sites on that, with a combined 4,200 hits per month (that's what the GoDaddy rep said). Which seems like very little. I talked to GoDaddy, the dude had me click on some PHP optimization options and compression, but said Wordpress has become very resource intensive and I should consider upgrading (that sounded like a sales pitch for the sake of it). I will now check out the Sucuri Scanner plugin, thank you!
Here are the stats for the 7 sites: http://imgur.com/a/FmSPp Mhmmm, according to those stats I guess the 4,200 hits were daily. Edit: Ok, I just realized I'm getting a ton of referral spam... can that be an issue? Now on to blocking it.
