Hey,
I’ve been flagged recently, and hounded, by my hosting company. They say that I’m way over the acceptable stats for a shared server. I’ve tried increasing cache times but it hasn’t helped. I’m kinda stumped. So, I’m starting to look in all directions. Is ja_university a hog when it comes to cpu usage? I thought it might be with the slideshow on the frontpage. I just redid the photos in my slide to reduce their file sizes…hopefully that’ll help. But, if anyone has suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.

CPU useage can come from other things than the actual web site. My cpu status showed I’ve been throttled twice in the last 24 hrs not because the sites were getting hit, they are all being developed in sub folders and none are really live. Its at that time both I and a collegue o/s were uploading several new test sites (Joomla Quickstarts) via FTP, expanding and Installing and dl ing recent akeeba backups. The ftp activity pushes the shared cpus more than normal. I think on my host throttling happens around 70 % of 1 cpu (quad core servers).
Were you uploading big files or dl ing big backups?

No, I wasn’t uploading/downloading anything, or backing up.
I’ve been screwing around for the last couple days trying to fix this. Nothing is helping. I even went so far as to remove the index.php file from both of my websites. It didn’t make any difference. WTF?! How is that possible??!!! If the stats show index.php as being the top 3 processes, and it isn’t even there, then there must be a serious glitch with the software that is recording everything.

Can you please post a link to your site ? I’ve seen similar cases when files couldn’t be found on the server (or a server misconfiguration)

Also try to disable GZIP from template settings as it seems that mod_gzip is not sported by your server.

So now maybe you need to check with your host if the load from your account dropped!
If you can’t get any results let me know and i will try to find an other way to help you.

Well, so far it looks the same (stats update every 5 minutes in Cpanel11). I’ll see what they have to say. Thanks for your help – I really appreciate it.

Stats on cPanel ? Are you on CloudLinux ?

Hmmm – it is possible that I have no idea what I’m talking about. Here is a screenshot.

Ok looks like some kind of 3rd party cPanel plugin for CPU utilization probably from CloudLinux no worries.
